Secretly, his heart is with Maggie. Grayson Thayer is tired of living a lie. It takes every ounce of his strength to play the role fate forced on him. Maggie hates him, he knows it. He can feel it. If only he could tell her his secret . . . As Grayson's fate becomes entwined with Maggie's, they are in danger from treacherous enemies. As tensions rise on the eve of war, events spiral out of control and Maggie and Grayson must make a leap of faith-or risk losing their very lives.
