About this ebook
Orphaned at birth and shuttled between foster homes, CIA agent Merrick Grayslake has made a practice of not letting anyone get close to him.
But he finds that his emotions are at risk when he is introduced to Alexandra Cole. Keeping to himself in the West Virginia mountains has long kept life uncomplicated, but traveling south for a friend's wedding pulls him directly into her orbit.
It has been all work and not enough play for Alex. And what little social life she's had has been on hold for a year while she completes her graduate degree. But her ordinary everyday life changes from the moment she meets Merrick Grayslake.
When an aggressive ex-boyfriend causes a scene at the reception, Merrick quietly steps in to handle the intruder. Focused on finishing her master's in art history before departing for fieldwork in Mexico, she agrees only to a friendly crash course in the galleries.
A promise to stay just friends soon proves easier to make than to keep. Between shared dinners in Virginia and snowy walks through Washington, their guarded walls begin to crumble.
Can an undercover operative and an independent art scholar build a lasting future when dangerous secrets from his past refuse to stay buried?
