After the tragic loss of her family, Vivienne Charpentier is left with little choice but to place her fate in the hands of her guardian Leonard C. Bailey, a man nearly twice her age and renowned for his cold, no-nonsense nature.
Leonard has no interest in playing nursemaid to anyone, far less to a headstrong, stubborn, exasperating young woman determined to test his limits. Vivienne fights tooth and nail against Leonard’s stifling restrictions, imposed under the guise of protection.
When rumors of a hidden fortune possibly tied to Vivienne's name surface, so do dangerous enemies who would see her ruined—or worse. Leonard is forced to step up as more than her guardian but as her protector. But even as she rails against his control, she cannot deny the truth: he is the only one standing between her and those who would see her hurt in the name of greed.
The more time he spends with Vivienne, Leonard finds that the most dangerous threat isn’t the one from without, but within as he fights an attraction for the woman he never wanted to have anything to do with in the first place. And when danger draws too close to home, Vivienne must make a choice: will she allow Leonard to protect her—body and soul—or risk losing everything?
