Her music coach encourages her to start playing in the public again, but the mind doesn't heal as fast as the body. Each time Avary closes her eyes she is filled with memories of the attack. Living with her sister, out of money and in a career rut, Avary accepts an offer to play at a dinner party at the illustrious Knight Estate. Baby steps back into the musical world didn't include a luxurious weekend at a vineyard, but does she have a choice? Reserved, intimidating, rich Victor Knight reluctantly invites unworldly, mousy Avary to his estate—but he's in for a shock. Nothing about her is mousy. The last thing he needs is to get involved with a sweet, free-spirited cellist, but why can't he resist? She cramps his bachelor lifestyle, and he's never been happier. But he can't lose someone again... Can they leave the baggage at the door and learn to trust? Or will their past poison their future?

As a girl, Ash James wanted a knight in shining armor to carry her away and together they would live happily-ever-after. And then she grew up and waiting tables at a greasy diner blemished her fairy tales. Her idea of a perfect prince matured and she had an appetite for alpha: sexy, muscled and scintillating. Declan Knight was everything she wanted—everything she found mysterious. When he walked—no, strutted—into her life she was ready to throw uncertainty, and her apron, out the window. Her knight put a ring on her finger and whisked her away to the ‘castle’ where she settled in nicely, until she soon realized every prince can turn into a toad. Before long she was back wearing a faded uniform, living on tips and scrimping to get by. And keeping her sister out of trouble. Sometimes deadly trouble. Fate has a plan and her name is Angelina Knight. How will Declan’s late sister play the role of fairy godmother? How will Declan save Ash from someone who is out to harm her? Will Ash see that sometimes a toad just needs a kiss…a touch…and endless nights of passion to turn him back into a prince?
