The Iceman never misses his target—until she becomes one.

The Iceman.

That’s what his Delta teammates call Nicholas Ireland. He’ll do whatever it takes to bring the bad guys down. Lie, kill, cheat, seduce. Now he’s on the trail of a psycho Russian mob boss who has gone to ground in a small, remote town in Vermont.
The quickest way to get to the mobster turns out to be by seducing the local librarian, Charity Prewitt. Not that it’s a chore.

Sir James Redstone has recently returned from abroad.

He is handsome, well-educated, heir to the Redstone title and family fortune, and a fellow traveler of Mikaela Forsythe.
He is also a member of the royal inner circle, close friend of the Prince of Wales, and well known to Mikaela’s aunt, Lady Antonia Montgomery.

In the past he and Mikaela traveled in the same group to Egypt and the Far East. They share the experience of that adventure that she has written about in her first novel.

Now, Redstone has returned with tales of other travels that Mikaela might have made if not for the recent change in her relationship with Brodie.
