Star-gazer, astrologist, tea-leaf reader… Lady Geneva Dorn has heard the disdainful descriptions bandied about for years. In truth, she is a scientist, an astronomer to be exact. And, she is on the cusp of an incredible discovery—a new comet.
Assassin, hero, soldier-for-hire…All true to some extent, but Selwyn McKelvey prefers opportunist. He’s brought down villains and despots. Now, he’s ready to plant roots at a peaceful cottage by the sea. He just has one last criminal to eliminate. Only, the brash, beautiful, extremely absent-minded, Lady Dorn hardly matches the description of hardened murderess he was given. Something very inconvenient occurs around her. He develops a conscience…and a weak spot for her intelligent mind and gorgeous body. In order to prove her theory—and finally gain recognition for her work—Geneva has to make it to the Scotland by summer solstice, only one week away. She doesn’t trust Wyn as far she could throw him (which wouldn’t be far at all, the man is a bear) but she needs an escort, and he seems to be the only option available. It seems more than one faction of the extremely competitive Royal Observatory is out to steal her research and shut her up for good. But on whose side will Wyn fall?
