Cat Edwards has spent her life
playing the wallflower in an effort to escape the repressive weight of her
mother’s tarnished name. Dragged to a bar by her best friend in an effort to
forget a broken heart, the shy bookworm is determined to be someone else for
the night, but quickly gets in over her head. She discovers chivalry isn’t dead
after all when a mysterious stranger comes to her rescue. He’s wearing black
leather and a mischievous smile that promises to be exactly what she needs.
When his terminally ill father
suffers a setback, Michael Brant returns to the town he swore ten years ago
he’d never return to. He’s come back this time determined to make peace with
the past, but being home brings up memories he doesn’t want to remember
anymore. His first night in town, he’s captured by a damsel in distress. Cat’s
beauty is made all the more alluring when he realizes she has no idea who he
is. He can’t resist spending a single night in her arms. With her, he’s only a
man, disconnected from his family’s name and the past that haunts him here.
As the town erupts with the news
of his return, Michael’s dark past comes back to haunt him, putting Cat in
danger. Someone is threatening her life and the life of her family. Desperate
to keep history from repeating itself, Michael offers her his family’s name in
order to keep her safe. When the lie spirals beyond their control, can they
stop their hearts from becoming entangled as well?

Read an excerpt:
He touched her arm, hoping to ease the
fear all but screaming at him from her eyes. “What happened this morning?”
Cat’s head turned as she darted a glance
around her, before her gaze finally settled on him again. “I was threatened. A
very angry digitized voice called me names and told me I’d pay for my
indiscretions.”
Anger surged in his chest, settling in
his gut like hot coals that set fire to his blood. That goddamn article.
Someone dragged her into his mess. “Have you called the sheriff?”
She nodded. “Yeah, but it didn’t do me
any good. He said he’d log the complaint and to let him know if I get any more,
but unless I’m being threatened in person, there isn’t much he can do. The
calls are coming from one of those prepaid cell phones, but the phone was
registered to someone who doesn’t exist.”
“A fake name.”
She nodded and turned to stare at the
ground, her whole demeanor taking on a soft vulnerability that twisted at his
insides. The calls clearly frightened her, and an overpowering need to protect
her surged in his gut.
The rebel in him flared to life like an
old, familiar friend. Whenever someone pushed unfairly, something within him
always pushed back. The way she looked now reminded him too much of the pain he
heard in her voice as they stood in the gazebo during the fireworks. She was
being threatened, and the intimidation worked. Anger surged in his blood.
D--d if he’d sit by and allow someone to take that fire from her.
Before he could stop himself, he cupped
her face in his palms and seized her mouth. He allowed himself a moment to
revel in the sweetness of her lips, the way they melted beneath his own as her
body leaned ever so subtly into his, then released her.
“Let ’em object to that indiscretion.”
He furrowed his brow, not bothering to hide the scorn in his tone. “Whoever’s
got you in their sights now has me to contend with. Come on, I’ll take you
home.”
