In Bonnie Pega's tantalizing novel of secrets and seduction, a woman living a lie sparks the imagination of a handsome drifter-who vows to uncover her untamed heart.
Wildlife rehabilitator Robin McKenna knows how to care for those in need, but nothing could prepare her for a force of nature like Patrick Brady. After agreeing to allow the injured stranger to recover in her home as a favor to a friend, she instantly regrets it. With a wicked grin and an irresistible allure, Patrick is quick to get under her skin-and ignite emotions she hasn't felt in years. But Robin can't share the shadows of a shameful past . . . not even with a man who makes her long for a brighter future.
As an investigative reporter, Patrick never gives up a good story, and his instincts tell him there's more to this fiery do-gooder than she lets on. Not that he plans on sticking around in Robin's backwoods town for long: Patrick travels often and packs light, with no time for emotional baggage. But Robin's secret is one mystery he'll give anything to expose. In the end, the truth just may bring them closer-or tear them apart.
