Harper is as cold as she is beautiful, and I despise her as much as I desire her. I thought I’d seen the last of my ex-stepsister when she and her mother fled Cedar Springs, leaving my father destitute. Now she’s back—and it’s time for her to make amends.

But I’m not the only one who holds a grudge against her. After Harper foils a break-in at the bookstore where she works, she finds herself the target of a twisted madman who wants to silence her—forever.

As much as she deserves the silent treatment, the desire simmering between us is too potent to ignore. And I’ll stop at nothing to save the woman I love.
