A billionaire. A woman in hiding. An unexpected love so strong it shocks them both. And a man whose life-or-death lie can ruin it all.
Iām treating a patient, when suddenly the room gets more crowded, and with the most beautiful man on earth to boot. Declan Harris stumbles into the treatment room, looking for his brother, the boyfriend of said patient, and itās like the moment he sees me, he forgets what his mission was. The smile on my face quickly gets wiped off with the knowledge that Iām not for him. Iām not for anyone. The less people know of me the better. Thatās the reason I fled Scotland for North Carolina. Thatās the reason I donāt keep in touch. And thatās the reason why no matter what spark I feel with any man, I canāt act on it. Despite all that, not a day later, my best friend Steph stiffs me for our lunch date, but suspiciously, guess who shows up at the restaurant....

Itās clear that my cousin Malcolm and my brother Maverick have something up their sleeve. After I get a text from Maverick that he needs to vent and to meet at our usual place, only to find a familiar face there instead, it gets my hackles up. Moira McTavish is the most beautiful woman in the world, but I canāt have her. For starters, she doesnāt want to be had. Also, Iāve been had before, and I know where that leads. My heart canāt take that again. So, I try to play the friend card, but just one touch from this goddess sets my skin sizzling. Thatās when she finds out that I know the truth. Thatās when a mysterious package shows up at her office. Thatās when her past catches up to her. Thatās when I have to look her in the eye, knowing that the one person everyone deserves to trust, is nothing but a toxic, compulsive liar...and a killer.
