A healer who's sworn off love, a rogue with a price on his head, and a destiny both can’t outrun.
Until the day Max Huntington falls into her garden with a bullet in his side, Essex Sinclair had resolved to leave passion to the young and foolish.
But now the fate she's spent her life avoiding has a name.
Someone wants him dead. It was only the healer’s quick actions that saved him. Sweet, determined, she makes him yearn for things he’d long left in the past. But to keep her safe, he must lie about his identity and walk away.
When she learns the truth, he's forced to choose between letting her go and dragging her straight into the danger that's hunting him.
But destiny hasn’t played it’s final hand and now they're running out of time to find his killer — before his killer finds them.
