Would you be willing to kill a stranger to keep your freedom?


Harper Nelson certainly would. When she finds out that her father owes a powerful man a big debt and his choices were either kill the notorious Rowan Reigel or hand over his daughter- and he chose to hand Harper over because it was easier for him- she makes a deal with her dad to take care of the problem so that she doesn't end up the wife of the worst mayor her city had seen in years. 


Rowan had plenty of enemies, and his life was always at risk. He never expected a curvy brunette with a soft voice and softer looking lips to be the one to bring him down. Or at least, that's what he was willing to let her believe while he figured out what the hell she was thinking kidnapping the "King of Crestline Bay". 


Harper thought killing a criminal, a man notorious for being cruel and cold, would be easy; especially considering the alternative. But the more time she spends around Rowan, the more she wonders whether this man is really as evil as she and everyone else has been led to believe.


Soon Harper finds herself in need of help from the very man she's kidnapped and planned to kill, and Rowan can't seem to stop himself from wanting to give her more than she's asking for. But when all is said and done, can Harper trust him? And will Rowan be able to walk away if she can't?
