Healing takes strength. Trust takes courage. Love takes everything.
Rosemary Cashman is ready to reclaim her life. After battling cancer and years spent wrapped in her family’s care, she’s determined to prove she doesn’t need anyone—not even the hot, mysterious man she literally runs into on the street. But when he asks her out, she says yes. Because dating a stranger sounds like a pretty good way to start living again.
Aleksei Thompson has one mission: bring down the mafia kingpin responsible for his best friend’s death. When intel points to an unassuming accountant named Rosemary as a potential key in the case, Aleksei sets up a chance encounter. His plan? Get close, gather evidence, and disappear.
But things get complicated when Rosemary stumbles onto incriminating invoices at work—proof that puts a target on her back. Now she and Aleksei are on the run, and the lines between truth and lies, strategy and seduction, begin to blur.
As the danger deepens and secrets unravel, Rosemary must decide: should she trust the man who lied to protect her—or walk away to protect herself?
Perfect for fans of slow-burn romantic suspense, undercover intrigue, and heroines who fight for their own second chance.
Elisabeth Caldwell is an award-winning author of romantic suspense
and contemporary romance novels. She grew up a Philly (and suburban
Philly) girl with thick glasses and her nose buried in a book. When she
was twelve-years old, she fell into the yellowed pages of one of her
grandmother’s Mary Stewart novels and has been obsessed with romance
ever since. She sees fairies in the trees, mermaids in the ocean, ghosts
peeking through shuttered windows, and a story behind every couple that
walks by holding hands.
Elisabeth lives in Bucks County, PA, with her three vibrant children,
a husband who is her soulmate, and one sweet, albino corn snake. She is
a jogger, tea-lover, and avid recycler. After years of practicing law
and daydreaming every chance she could get, she is now living her dream
and working as a romance novelist.
