Love was never part of the plan.

Since his sister's brutal murder, Colum O'Connor found refuge in his work as archivist for the Masters' Admiralty. Haunted by grief and regret, he prefers books to people, solitude to companionship.

But when a dangerous enemy discovers part of a secret manuscript by one of the Masters' Admiralty's most scandalous members, Colum is forced to leave the safety of the archive. With the help of enigmatic Xavier Allarde and Annie Ward–a woman who is more than what she seems–Colum races to find the missing pieces of Oscar Wilde's tell-all book.

The closer they get to solving the mystery, the more undeniable their attraction becomes. Worse, Colum realizes he might be falling in love with Xavier and Annie.

There's just one problem. Colum is already married.
