A standalone spicy Canada-based forced proximity, haters-to-lovers, secret identity romance. Book one in The Uncovered series. The only way Private Investigator Leonora McKay can silence her overthinking mind is by stepping knee-deep into other people’s problems. When Nora accepts what should be a routine serving case, curiosity quickly turns into obsession. The job pulls her into a bitter dispute between two powerful rivals and straight into the path of a man who has spent years perfecting the art of staying lost. Daxon Wilder is a puzzle she cannot let go of. A silent millionaire who is sharp-edged, controlled, and dangerously magnetic, he is impossible to read and far too easy to want. His presence commands her body until the lines begin to blur between performance and desire. Between surveillance and truth. Between pretending and wanting. The deeper she sinks into his world, the clearer it becomes that nothing about this case is what it seems. Just when she thinks she has found the exit, Nora is caught in a devastating web of lies, some of which may be her own. When the truth finally surfaces, it shatters everything and leaves only distance between two lost souls. But even the lost are not immune to pain. Years pass in silence until a wedding invitation forces their worlds to collide once again. Face to face in a not-so-awkward reunion filled with cheesy jokes, questionable flirting, and too many unspoken truths, Nora and Daxon are forced to confront what they lost and what still burns between them. Now they must decide if their connection can survive the truth that once tore them apart. Because a happy ending is not something you find. It’s something you choose to fight for.
