When an old man changes his will and video tapes his final
wishes, a series of events is set in motion that will
change the lives of everyone involved, especially those who
never knew him.
Kate MacKenna and her two sisters, Kiera and Isabel, have
grown up never knowing their late father's family. Now that
their mother is also gone, they have only each other to
depend on and are very close. All three are intelligent and
highly motivated. Kiera is attending medical school to
become a doctor and Isabel is starting college. Kate is an
entrepreneur who started her own business while still in
high school. Kate grew her business from afar as she
completed her master's degree in Boston. She also made her
mother a partner to handle the day to day financial
affairs. Now, Kate is home and working on implementing her
plans for expansion.
When a good friend invites her to a reception at his estate
near Charleston, Kate is thrilled to be able to promote her
line of fragrance products. The last thing she expects is
to be knocked unconscious by an explosion that nearly kills
her. Upon her release from the hospital, Kate is shocked to
learn that her late mother used her business as collateral
for a sizable loan, and it's balloon payment is due in
three weeks. Then her best friend, Jordan Buchanan, calls
from Boston begging her to be with her as she undergoes
breast biopsy surgery in a few days. Of course, Kate rushes
to her side and shares Jordan's joy when the tests are
negative. Kate is totally exhausted from a week of roller
coaster emotions. When Jordan's sexy brother, Dylan, who's
always pushed Kate's buttons, decides to keep Kate company
at Jordan's apartment, their suppressed attraction for one
another is finally unleashed, leading to a night of
uninhibited lovemaking.
Kate is shaken by what she's done, which is totally out of
character for her, and refuses to face Dylan after their
passionate night together. She quickly returns to Silver
Springs to work on salvaging her business and handling the
family's financial difficulties. Then she's almost blown to
bits again by another explosion, and the police are
wondering if the first explosion wasn't an accident after
all.
With Dylan still on leave from the Boston PD following his
being shot in the line of duty, Jordan thinks he's the
perfect person to watch over and protect Kate while he
finishes recuperating. Though Dylan isn't quite convinced
Kate's in any real danger, he humors his sister and shows
up at Kate's door. Dylan is the last person Kate wants in
her house, especially with the strong sexual vibes they
share for each other. Dylan isn't about to let Kate deny
the feelings that are growing more intense every day.
When word comes from Savannah of an unusual inheritance, it
doesn't take long for Dylan to realize that Kate's in more
danger than anyone ever thought. Someone is actually out to
do her permanent harm. Will he be able to keep her alive
long enough to find out who?
All total, there are six Buchanan brothers. We've already
met three of them in HEARTBREAKER (Nick), MERCY (Theo) and
MURDER LIST (Alec). Now Dylan takes center stage, and he's
just as, sexy, dangerous and courageous as the others. Kate
has met her match and then some. The patient, careful way
Dylan handles Kate and her feelings, as well as protecting
her and her family, makes him a true hero. Garwood's
combination of taut suspense, surprising plot twists, witty
humor and searing passion make this a book you won't be
able to put down. At least, I couldn't, not until the
climactic resolution.
Kate MacKenna has always been able to turn her troubles
into triumphs. But now the fates seem to be lining up
against her...in lethal fashion.
Determined to get her life back on track after some reeling
mishaps, including almost being blown up (twice!), Kate
doesn't need the protection of Dylan Buchanan. But he soon
discovers there are several people who want Kate dead.
He'll do whatever it takes to keep that from happening.
