Only, this dark memory that she doesn’t recall won’t let her be.
When she’s put on a high-profile case with one of the named partners at her firm, their opposing counsel throws her life off-balance. He looks at Kara like he knows a dirty secret and she doesn’t understand why.
That is, until he corners her in a bar alone later that night and tries to buy her silence with a smirk on his perfect face.
This is not a love story. Kara doesn’t believe in love and a man like Nicholas Havenwood-Calais is the worst sort of self-harm she can imagine. What he wants is far worse.
