Cold, egotistical and a Foxton. He tore my final performance to shreds with his pen, and embarrassed me for all the world to see. But hate wasn’t what I felt for Scott Foxton when he touched me. Enemy wasn’t what I thought when he rescued me either. I got lost in dreams and hope, and ignored the threats that would follow my own deceit. For once in my life, family loyalty could be damned. But then I saw the painting. And now I can’t lie anymore. The man I shouldn’t want is the one that holds my heart. I just have to trust that he’ll still believe me when he knows the truth about Persephone Broderick.

Ruthless, dispassionate and callous. I coerce and threaten, using intellect and power to subdue my enemies. That's what the Cane’s needed in a Lawyer and that’s how the world now sees Landon Broderick. But roles are shifting. And family drama certainly isn’t welcome in my ceaseless unrest. At least my dirty, little distraction keeps me sane. She’s wild and free, sordid and beneath my standing, and yet I crave her above any other woman. No touching, though. No attachment either. It isn’t until Willow Etherington, my new PA, diverts my attention that I begin to feel myself weaken. She’s fierce and unyielding, professional and direct. And while sleeping with my staff isn’t usual, if I can’t have the one I want, I might take the one dancing a dangerous path instead. I make the rules here now. Family standing be damned.

Bold, forceful, and aggressive. Blake Rhodes came into my life at just the right time, rescuing me from the clear and present danger I'd put myself in. But a smoking-hot hook up was all it was supposed to be. One night was all I was offering because I had a mystery to solve back home, a crisis to cover, and the truth to expose. And Ivy Broderick doesn’t have time for anything that isn’t on my own terms, anyway - Blake included. But men like him don't take no for an answer. They pursue and seize with no remorse, making it impossible to walk away. And when trouble seems to follow me home, having a hero by my side again proves useful. Still, Broderick’s don’t like to be pushed into anything, especially matters of the heart. And certainly not when he's keeping secrets of his own.
