- a pleasant position with one caveat. Her charges older brother Leo Hathaway is thoroughly exasperating. Cat can hardly believe that their constant arguing could mask a mutual attraction. But when one quarrel ends in a sudden kiss Cat is shocked at her powerful response

The danger Cat tried to outrun is about to separate them forever
- unless two wary lovers can find a way to banish the shadows & give in to their desires...
