Rosie needs the arrogant Max Kingston’s help, and she doesn’t care what she has to do to get it. Except, gaining the head of the powerful Kingston family’s attention, is virtually impossible. Unless, or if, Max decides he wants to see or speak to you. If that should be the case, then he will be the one to arrange a meeting, at his convenience, and at a place of his choosing. Rosie doesn’t have time for that and decides to take matters into her own hands. A move Max takes exception to. To a degree Rosie becomes his prisoner in the Kingston fortress, otherwise known as Kingston Manor. Will Max agree to help her, or punish her for the intrusion?

Adam is learning the hard way that having feelings for a certain woman doesn’t necessarily mean she’s ever going to return those feelings. Especially if that woman is the beautiful but stubbornly infuriating Cara Ferrari-Smythe. But Adam is only too happy to ignore Cara’s objections to having his presence in her life when he knows she’s once again in danger. When Cara first saw the dark and brooding Adam Kingston again a year ago, at an art exhibition where some of her paintings were being shown, it had felt as if she had been waiting forever for him to come back into her life. That Adam didn‘t feel the same way about her became obvious, when he didn’t so much as speak one word to her that night before leaving, let alone acknowledge the two of them had ever met before. Then a week later Cara saw him again, walking past her London home. And again a few days later, outside a restaurant, where she was having lunch with friends. She saw him again, and again, until Cara knew the ‘coincidence’ of them suddenly being in the same place at the same time wasn’t coincidence at all but was being deliberately engineered by Adam Kingston. Why he was doing it, Cara still had no idea. Asking him for help when it seems she’s once again in danger is definitely not on her list of things to do. Adam doesn’t agree, and Cara soon discovers he’s one very stubborn and determined man who does exactly what he wants.

Sinclair isn’t at all happy when he’s accosted by a young woman as he’s leaving a family wedding. The fact she was able to approach him at all, without Sinclair’s knowledge, is bad enough. But he’s even more concerned once he realises exactly who she is. Because Sinclair has been keeping a secret from his family since his wife was kidnapped and murdered five years ago, and this young woman could destroy everything he’s put in place to protect that secret. Remy Mitchell hasn’t seen Sinclair Kingston since the day of his wife’s funeral. She’s shocked at the obvious changes in him. He no longer looks like the vibrant dark-haired man with the laughing blue eyes she remembers. Instead, Sinclair’s hair is now as much salt as pepper, his eyes are as cold as ice, and his expression is hard and uncompromising. Which makes Remy question whether he’s the right person to ask for help or if she should walk away now. Sinclair’s cold and compelling gaze tells her it’s far too late for that. He wants answers from her, and he wants them now.
