A man with no one to call his own, Rye has never understood Max's desertion of his only family, and the opportunity to witness the reunion is too much temptation to resist. Because family is precious and rare and a gift to be protected-something Rye is damned well going to make them both understand.But first Max has to unmask a mole. Fiona has to safeguard an innocent girl against the man hunting her. And Rye...Rye has to keep everyone alive. A dark, edgy, steamy thriller with characters you won't forget...contemporary romantic suspense at its best.
