My world was shattered…

My foster mother Lucia’s brutal murder almost broke me, but I have to pull myself together and be strong for my sisters, Nell and Vivi.

Lucia saved us from an ugly fate. We’d have been lost without her, but now we were lost again; this time in secrets, lies and clues, but no answers. When Lucia’s killer attacks me, Liam, the brawny building contractor Lucia had hired for her house renovation, swoops in and saves my ass. It’s the worst possible moment to notice how rock-solid that guy is, not to mention brave. And gorgeous. But my enemies could hurt him. He should keep his distance.

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men…

I’m barely holding it together since I lost my foster mother, Lucia, in a brutal home invasion. The killer is still on the loose, convinced that my sisters and I know something crucial about Lucia’s mysterious past.

On top of that, I’m barely making ends meet as a grad student in New York City, waiting tables and looking over my shoulder. The only bright spot in my day is when I serve lunch to Duncan Burke, a big, grim-faced guy in a suit. He barely notices me—until he does. And after one passionate encounter, suddenly he’s making me a shocking proposition...

One step ahead of mayhem…

Ever since my foster mom Lucia’s senseless murder, my sisters and I are scrambling to solve this deadly mystery before it kills us. But Lucia’s killer is still after us, and with both my sisters now blissfully paired up with their protective new boyfriends, I’m the obvious soft target.
