A woman with a closet full of skeletons and the man determined to find them.
Cèsar Nadal is arguably the best private investigator in the business. So when he’s outsourced to find dirt on a competing company’s executive to keep her from outbidding his client, he isn’t surprised.
But this time is a little different.
Because when he takes one look at the woman he’s meant to ruin, he’s smitten.
Deirdre Klarke prides herself on her integrity…despite running a sector of the family business whose very foundation is littered with dead bodies. The Klarke family name carries more weight than Deirdre cares to wear anymore. But she’s determined to make a name for herself in Austin.
All is well until Deirdre feels like someone is watching her. But as she becomes familiar with the efficient man who makes himself useful when breaking into her home, she finds herself getting sucked into a seductive dance with her stalker.
As the lonely crime family darling cozies up to her mysterious suitor, both of their secrets threaten to unravel their newfound affections.
