SynopsisThe New York Times bestelling queen of of romantic suspense--an author hailed as "a cut above"* returns with an exceptional thriller packed with her trademark combination of passion, danger, and intrigue Throwing himself into his painting, Rand McCee wishes the swirls of light and color can erase the memory of his beloved brother's murder. On a scouting assignment for St. Kilda Consulting, a Manhattan-based, global business that concentrates on the shadow world where governments can't go, Rand's twin was shot in cold blood before Rand's eyes. Finally coming to terms with the fact that he will never be able to find the man responsible--a mysterious figure known as "The Siberian"--Rand just wants to forget. But as he soon learns, the past won't let him. . . . Helping a rich socialite finance an art exhibition, Arizona banker Kayla Shawn has unwittingly become entangled in a deadly web of lies and deceit involving money laundering. When her employer tries to buy her silence, Kayla knows she's in way over her head, with only one way out: Rand. Though their attraction is instant and intense, it's not enough to overcome their mutual suspicion. Somehow Kayla and Rand must learn to work together to unmask a terrifying enemy before they land in jail--or the grave., Kayla Shaw is a private banker in Arizona--smart and capable but underpaid and underappreciated. Rand McCree is a haunted man who paints landscapes in the Pacific Northwest, burning with a need for answers about the terrible event that shattered his world. They are two strangers with nothing in common . . . until their lives entwine--and explode. On what at first appears to be an ordinary day, everything changes for Kayla, as she barely escapes a kidnapping attempt and finds herself accused of a shocking crime: the illegal laundering of hundreds of millions of dollars. Damned by lies and false "evidence," she is trapped with no place to run. After five agonizing years, Rand has finally been offered what he desires the most: the name of his twin brother's murderer. Hungry for vengeance, he accepts a job with St. Kilda Consulting that will place him in the killer's orbit . . . and tantalizingly close to Kayla Shaw. The cold-blooded international criminal responsible for Rand's brother's death has targeted Kayla as his next victim. Since she can't turn to the police, who believe she's guilty as sin, she must place her life in the hands of the shadowy, secretive man who has come out of nowhere to protect her. Suspicious of each other, needing each other, they are two against the world--with unknown enemies on all sides and even the government itself suspect--as the violence of the past erupts in the present. And now innocence alone will not be enough to keep Kayla Shaw alive. . . .
