She’s the wrong secret I should’ve left buried.

Jaci Linwood is unlike any woman I’ve ever known. 

Pint-sized and buttoned up, she’s enclosed in sky-high walls I can’t charm my way past. 

Giving up is not my MO. 

So when HEY, the security firm I co-own with my ex-military friends, gets tasked with finding out what she and her boss are doing at Pine Peaks Resort, I’m stoked to be the private investigator on the case.

Mysteries shroud their presence, but my investigation proves that they’re not merely vacationing. 

Something far more sinister lays at our doorstep and Jaci’s at the center of it. 

I should be doing my job...

But she becomes a fixation I can’t break, a craving that’s never satisfied, a need I don’t want to escape. 

She sees through my facade and challenges me, pushes me, unravels me.

Then I’m straddling two paths—doing my job or following my desire. 

The danger creeps closer, bearing down on her. 

I must protect her from those who’d cause her harm. 

And from my obsessed self...
