Kayla Shaw is a private banker in Arizona—-smart and
capable but underpaid and underappreciated. Rand McCree is a
haunted man who paints landscapes in the Pacific Northwest,
burning with a need for answers about the terrible event
that shattered his world. They are two strangers with
nothing in common . . . until their lives entwine—-and
explode.
On what at first appears to be an ordinary
day, everything changes for Kayla, as she barely escapes a
kidnapping attempt and finds herself accused of a shocking
crime: the illegal laundering of hundreds of millions of
dollars. Damned by lies and false "evidence," she is trapped
with no place to run.
After five agonizing years,
Rand has finally been offered what he desires the most: the
name of his twin brother's murderer. Hungry for vengeance,
he accepts a job with St. Kilda Consulting that will place
him in the killer's orbit . . . and tantalizingly close to
Kayla Shaw. The cold-blooded international criminal
responsible for Rand's brother's death has targeted Kayla as
his next victim. Since she can't turn to the police, who
believe she's guilty as sin, she must place her life in the
hands of the shadowy, secretive man who has come out of
nowhere to protect her.
Suspicious of each other,
needing each other, they are two against the world—with
unknown enemies on all sides and even the government itself
suspect—as the violence of the past erupts in the present.
And now innocence alone will not be enough to keep Kayla
Shaw alive. . . .
