But when she pays the ex a visit, bringing wine as a pretense, she comes face-to-face with his head of security, she can only call tall, dark, and deadly. That man is Adam. Adam, one of Walker Security's best men, is renting a villa in Sonoma, working undercover as head of security for a bad dude, involved in corporate espionage of a client. That's when he crosses paths with Cari Allen, and becomes obsessed with the redheaded beauty who keeps nosing around his target's business, trying to get herself killed. The best way to keep her safe is to convince his client she's in his bed and under his control. But when he falls hard for Cari, and the truth of what happened to her sister proves far more gruesome than he images, truth and lies collide, and love and hate drive him and Cari down a dangerous, if not deadly, path where there may be no turning back.
