Part of Fool's Gold, book 11
First published 2013
Felicia Swift moves to Fool's Gold, California seeking an ordinary life after years of isolation due to her exceptional intelligence. Her plans change when she hears a familiar voice belonging to Gideon Boylan, the man who gave her the most passionate night of her life half a world away. Gideon now lives quietly in this small town, hiding his Black Ops past and keeping everyone at distance after learning that love can kill. Felicia wants everything he believes he cannot provide: a real home, a family, and lasting love. She lacks experience with relationships, while Gideon struggles with his conviction that emotional connections bring danger. As they reconnect, both discover their shared status as outsiders who never quite fit in anywhere else. Their physical attraction remains strong, but deeper feelings complicate everything. Felicia must decide if she can accept Gideon's limitations, while he faces the choice between safety and the woman who makes him want to risk everything again.
