Secrets from the past reveal a truth better left buried...A message from beyond the grave exposes Melena Salera's life as a sham: her birth family abandoned her, and her parents are not who they claim. Now, a grandmother she never knew has left her a fortune. Melena's only hope of uncovering the truth is her grandmother's handsome lawyer, but Theo Sauvage doesn't trust her. Theo believes Melena's grandmother was murdered and he intends to bring the killer to justice. If that means getting close to her heiress--the obvious suspect--he will. But he never expected to be so attracted to Melena. When a near miss reveals that someone wants Melena dead, Theo and Melena must work together to find the real killer. In the crosshairs of a madman, they form an unbreakable bond--but can they uncover the truth before it's too late?
