Desired

A billionaire. A woman in hiding. An unexpected love so strong it shocks them both. And a man whose life-or-death lie can ruin it all.

I’m treating a patient, when suddenly the room gets more crowded, and with the most beautiful man on earth to boot. Declan Harris stumbles into the treatment room, looking for his brother, the boyfriend of said patient, and it’s like the moment he sees me, he forgets what his mission was. The smile on my face quickly gets wiped off with the knowledge that I’m not for him. I’m not for anyone. The less people know of me the better. That’s the reason I fled Scotland for North Carolina. That’s the reason I don’t keep in touch. And that’s the reason why no matter what spark I feel with any man, I can’t act on it. Despite all that, not a day later, my best friend Steph stiffs me for our lunch date, but suspiciously, guess who shows up at the restaurant….
It’s clear that my cousin Malcolm and my brother Maverick have something up their sleeve. After I get a text from Maverick that he needs to vent and to meet at our usual place, only to find a familiar face there instead, it gets my hackles up. Moira McTavish is the most beautiful woman in the world, but I can’t have her. For starters, she doesn’t want to be had. Also, I’ve been had before, and I know where that leads. My heart can’t take that again. So, I try to play the friend card, but just one touch from this goddess sets my skin sizzling. That’s when she finds out that I know the truth. That’s when a mysterious package shows up at her office. That’s when her past catches up to her. That’s when I have to look her in the eye, knowing that the one person everyone deserves to trust, is nothing but a toxic, compulsive liar…and a killer.
