Delaney McNeil has landed the job of her dreams. But when she learns the company she has been hired to audit belongs to her former professor and lover, Simon Jennings, she wants out. And fast.

Simon Jennings is an imposing man, whose smooth exterior masks a history of turmoil and failure. When he takes the helm of the family business, he also sets out to make amends for the mistakes that have sabotaged his life. But righting the wrongs, he soon learns, is no easy matter. Inexplicable financial losses as well as increasingly violent events upend his best intentions. And then there’s Delaney.

Delaney won’t risk another affair with the man who took her heart. And Simon won’t let her go. Can this ever end well?
