Step Across the Rubicon (Liliana Batchelor #2)
Holly Blackstone

Now that Lily and Stuart are back in the Pacific Northwest things become far more complicated, removed as they are from the idyll of Scotland. Circumstances conspire to drive a wedge between them and cause Lily to question her decision to pursue a relationship with him. Stuart's ex-wife, Megan, surfaces and tries to insinuate her way back into his life and his affections, while an adversary threatens his hold on Watson & Dickson as well as Lily’s safety. A surprise admission by Stuart adds an extra depth to their relationship. The publicity surrounding their involvement causes unexpected fractures at her work, and an old love re-enters the picture, intent on gaining a second chance to win Lily’s heart.
