Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Grace Shepherd is living her best life as a professor at a small liberal arts college in rural Maine where she teaches students the sexual values and mores of societies, while also running a micro-farm. But when FBI Agent Andrew Wolff shows up to investigate the poisoning of her estranged cult-leader father, High Shepherd Collin A. Shepherd, everything Grace has done to shake off her toxic past goes up in smoke.
Now, Grace must return to her father's home in Northern California--the Glen, residence to devotees of a centuries' old sex cult--to help Agent Wolff gain access to the estate in order to solve her father's murder, and hopefully discover a well-hidden secret from her own past. Unfortunately, access isn't so easy to come by, particularly when Grace meets the sexy interim High Shepherd, Cordero Monteverde, and learns her father left her the entire Glen estate and a promise to reveal the answer to the twenty-eight-year family secret, under one condition. She must submit to Cord and the rules of the Glen.
Grace can either play the part of a Lamb to Cord's sexually intense Shepherd, and acquire the information that will reveal her own identity and place in the world, or get in bed--literally--with Wolff in order to investigate her father's murder, bringing her closure and the chance to return to her old life. Torn between two men, Grace must decide if her own thirst for answers is reason enough to maintain the secrets of the Glen or if it's time to let her father's legacy go once and for all.
