Susan Flints life was running smoothly. She had a place on her dream college course, a reliable fiancé with a good job, and a niece and nephew that she adored. Most of all, she adored being able to hand them back at the end of the day.

But all this comes crashing down around her, when her brother and his wife are killed in a car crash. Her niece and nephew turn into a full time responsibility, her fiancé into a waste of time, and her life into something there aren’t enough hours in the day for.

She definitely doesn’t have time for millionaire playboy Alessandro Carducci, and his crazy insistence that the crash was not an accident, until someone leaves an envelope full of creepy photos and a threatening letter on her doorstep.

With nowhere else to turn, Susan must work with Alessandro to find out who is behind an increasingly violent series of events, as she tangles with the increasingly potent attraction between them.

But can she trust her own judgement? Finding out that Alessandro may not be all that he seems drives her straight into the path of danger, which proves to be even closer to home than she could ever have imagined. Will he prove to be the man that she thought and save her in time?
