An unlikely partnership shrouded in secrets, family secrets too shocking to reveal...

Framed for embezzling, investigator Kira Kincaid will go to any lengths to clear her name. She will even team up with Dalton Matthews, her estranged — now deceased — husband's brother. But the reclusive mogul isn't what she expected: he's the quintessential alpha male who evokes an unwelcome yearning. And now, thanks to his involvement with Kira, a target to those trying to kill her.

Dalton is determined to protect the headstrong widow, even as he plans to walk away once she's safe. If only her green-eyed gaze didn't melt all of his emotional defences. But when their mission exposes an earth-shattering family secret from both their pasts, Dalton must choose between his brother's betrayal and the one woman he should deny.
