Publisher's Synopsis
An inheritance she never anticipated or desired sparks murder . . . and passion.
Widowed and left with her husband's vast empire to manage, Camille Valentine isn't sure how much longer she can hold on. Between her single-minded need to succeed and the very real threats on her life, the pressure is crushing her soul. The only thing keeping her sane is the man determined to protect her at any cost. Former Navy Seal and black ops agent Michael Zorn spends his days chauffeuring an extremely wealthy-not to mention gorgeous-woman to and from her business meetings. Not the future he'd envisioned, but he'd made a promise to the man who'd once saved him, one he doesn't intend to break. As a hired assassin steps up his game, Camille and Michael fight for their lives. From the Santa Barbara shore to the redwood forest to the rugged beauty of Mount Rainier, her desperate plight ignites feelings neither of them anticipated. But until they uncover the identity of the traitor behind the hitman, true happiness is an impossible dream-because their reality is a relentless nightmare.
