Despite a tragedy in his past, Jean-Luc Delacroix still believes in love. Although he’s had little chance to find it, caught between work and managing his wayward sister. Until the captivating Madeleine crosses his path.

As the danger posed by her mother’s boyfriend escalates, every instinct tells Jean-Luc to protect her with all the power his vast wealth can muster. But Madeleine has other plans.
