His past haunts him. She needs answers only he can provide. Staying away isnāt an option, not when they can help each other. But sheās a heady distraction he canāt afford. Tell that to his wounded heartā¦
Heās mysterious and off-the-charts hot. At least thatās how Emerson Lowell thinks of the tall, dark, handsome, and very intense man she mistakes for someone she must work with at Kingās Department Store. Yeah, the guy she not quite hits on to ease her anxiety at showing up at the richy-rich Carlisle Toy art exhibit in a barely there dress, if you can even call it that. Oh, the way he looks at her makes her weak all over. Swoon, anyone?
Sheās a bright light and a rare beauty. Declan Bennett Carlisle canāt take his eyes off her. But as the sole heir to the now defunct toy company, the head of the foundation trying to secretly disperse legacy funds to the former employeesāone possibly related to Emersonāand one of its toymakers, heās keeping his identity under wraps. That means hidden from the mesmerizing Emerson. Only, he canāt stay away. Not from her. Not from how she soothes his deep-seated pain and inspires him to take up designing and toy making again. Shocker!
He questions whether sheās just using him to get information about the unique Carlisle toy she needs repaired for her orphaned niece. The closer they get the risk of being exposed grows even greater. But Emersonās sweet funny ways break through all Declanās desperate failed attempts to keep her at armās length and that icy block lodged in his chest. He needs to call a halt to it before itās too late. Only she doesnāt take no for an answer when it comes to matters of the heartā¦
