Description

She took the job to watch the father who abandoned her, but working alongside his arrogant nephew ignites a dangerous game of passion.

When Selina Thorn applied for a job with the father she never met, darkly handsom Piers Gresham, his nephew, decided she was just another grasping woman on the make. And made no secret of his contempt for her. But neither could he hide his desire.

In the hushed corridors of Sir Gerald’s London chambers, she guarded her identity behind a mask of professional poise. She intended to observe the eminent QC in secret, yet his nephew’s cynical scrutiny made a mockery of her hard-won composure.

Selina found the aggravating man increasingly difficult to resist. But was Piers's expert seduction of her only a means to get her to confess to the real reason she was there?

Sir Gerald’s failing health soon forced their work to his country home in Dorset, where close quarters turned their bitter clashes into dangerous temptation. Her dark secret was about to be exposed....
