At The Haven, head housekeeper Adeline Day is the consummate professional. She protects the guests, protects the property, and protects the peace by following the company policy prohibiting fraternization between staff and guests. So when a public accusation threatens everything she's worked for, the last thing she expects is frequent guest Nathaniel Sterling to step in and refuse to leave her side.

Billionaire and single father Nathaniel Sterling has seen enough of the world to know real danger. And he knows that far more than Adeline's job is at risk. He simply plans to use his vast resources to protect her--but the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend their cautious friendship hasn't turned into something more.

As the threat looming over Adeline draws closer, staying safe will require her to trust Nathaniel with more than her security. It may require her to trust him with her heart.

Award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn launches a gripping new series where love and danger keep close company.
