About the book
What did he want from Abby now?
Abby hadn't told a soul what Keir had done to her a year ago, how he'd ruined her future as a concert pianist and devastated her faith in love.
Keir Minto, Canada's most eligible bachelor, had pursued Abigail Paston relentlessly until she'd responded with all her heart. But that had been a lifetime ago....
That had been before the accusations of obsessive jealousy, the broken engagement, the senseless trap that had almost claimed Abby's life!
