Part of Buchanan-Renard, book 14
First published 2022
Grace Isabel MacKenna came to Boston for a simple anniversary party before heading to Scotland to claim her inheritance. Murder was not on her agenda. During what should have been a quick walk through the city, she gets lost and finds herself catching a bleeding stranger who collapses into her arms. When his pursuer appears and starts shooting, Isabel fires back to save their lives. Her shot proves fatal. Navy SEAL turned lawyer Michael Buchanan arrives to help her navigate the police investigation that follows. Isabel survives hours of questioning, but she cannot escape Michael himself. He has decided to protect her whether she wants his help or not. Their history of mutual antagonism makes his constant presence insufferable, even as an undeniable attraction sparks between them. When Isabel travels to Scotland to collect what she inherited, Michael follows. New threats emerge against her life. Before Isabel and Michael can confront their deepening connection, they must stay alive long enough to have a future together.
