Undercover Texas PI Brock Emerson has one job—to keep chemical engineer Adelaide Reese from shutting down his client’s paper mill. But he had no idea how tempting the beautiful scientist would be. Or how much he’d want to protect her…
Set on proving pollution from the mill is poisoning the local town, Adelaide is making powerful enemies. And when angry mill employees stage a violent attack, Brock can’t help stepping in to save her.
Posing as a journalist, he wins her trust. Then they witness a murder that makes Brock question both his employer and his moral compass…and sends them running for their lives.
When the woman he’s falling for learns he’s been lying to her all along, Brock finds himself in a position he never imagined. Will doing his job cost him his integrity and his heart? Or will they both pay the ultimate price for crossing a master manipulator?
