Stopping her from discovering the truth is his assignment. Stopping himself from falling in love with her is his private hell.
Robbie Listowel is attacked in a rain-washed alley in Edinburgh when Deacon Wake, a darkly beautiful man, comes to her rescue. When she learns he lives in the same building as her half-brother, Robbie accepts his offer to put her up for the night. If going home with a complete stranger will bring her one step closer to finding her brother, then its a risk she has to take.
She soon discovers the mystery of her brothers disappearance is connected to an exclusive society that harbors a chilling secret. Plagued by bouts of agoraphobia, Deacon Wake is the only person she can trust, leading to nights of intimate exploration in his flat. The gorgeous custodian is a distraction that takes her off course, setting her on a collision course to the worst day of her life.
