Elle a besoin de son aide…

Grâce à ses années d’entraînement en tant qu’agent au sein d’un service gouvernemental, Evie Bishop sait comment s’infiltrer dans des endroits où elle n’a normalement pas sa place – et elle est très douée en la matière. Mais des années dans les opérations spéciales l’ont épuisée, et en rentrant chez elle, elle doit faire face à un chaos inattendu. L’un de ses frères est dans le coma et l’autre se cache, recherché pour meurtre. Une ex-collègue se présente ensuite à son domicile. Blessée par balle, celle-ci lui raconte qu’un assassin est en train d’éliminer toutes les personnes impliquées dans une opération à laquelle elles ont participé. Evie est alors obligée de se tourner vers le seul homme à qui elle sait pouvoir faire confiance, celui dont elle a brisé le cœur.

Mais cela aura un prix…

Lorsque Dylan Blackwood lui a demandé de l’épouser il y a un an, Evie l’a rejeté avant de le quitter. Quand il la trouve sur le pas de sa porte, couverte du sang de quelqu’un d’autre et ayant besoin de son aide, il est abasourdi. Il a toujours su qu’Evie était bien plus qu’elle ne semblait être, bien plus qu’une simple princesse gâtée de la haute société comme elle voulait qu’on le croie, mais il ne s’était pas attendu à cela. Si elle a besoin d’aide, il la lui fournira. Même s’il ne peut pas oublier sa trahison. Même s’il n’est pas sûr de lui faire confiance. Mais sa protection aura un prix : le cœur d’Evie. Avant de penser à l’avenir, ils devront collaborer pour vaincre un ennemi sans visage qui a la jeune femme dans sa ligne de mire.
