About the book
Nothing could stop her from loving him!
Danny breached the complex security system at the Sutherland estate and sent the new owner into a tailspin. Yet once she got to know the deeply passionate man behind the wall of suspicion, she realized that to Pierce Sutherland, seclusion was more than a haven. It had become a self-imposed prison.
"Only a fool takes chances;" Pierce warned. But no matter what forces had shaped him, Danny's heart refused to be ruled by threats. She knew that falling in love held risks.
She'd never been fainthearted before--and wasn't about to start now!
