Eshe d Aureus is sent to Armand Argeneau under the auspice that she needs a safe place to hide from a rogue out for revenge but Eshe is really on the job. Shes been saddled with the task of finding out why Armands wives keep dying & what it has to do with his son Nicholas & the murder Nicholas is accused of committing 50 years ago. Shes Nicholas only hope of avoiding being executed for a murder he may or may not have committed. Eshes agreed to take on the task but that was before she realized she couldnt read Armand & he is the life mate shes been waiting for. Armand Argeneaus first sight of Eshe was her roaring up on a motorcycle that appeared to be aflame. That was inconspicuous?! She had the grace of a panther the attitude of a pit bull & openly enjoyed thwarting Lucians orders whenever possible.. .all of which delighted him immensely.. .until he realized he couldnt read the woman & she might be a life mate. Having already lost a life mate & two wives to suspicious circumstances Armand isnt willing to risk losing another. Unfortunately sending her away was pretty difficult when he couldnt keep his thoughts not to mention his hands off her. It seems its time to once again try to get to the bottom of the deaths of his first three wives. While Armands tried before hes also failed but this time he could lose his son as well as his life mate.
