Desire

The closer I get to Sullivan Keane, the harder it becomes to trust him.

Maren Ivers has already crossed a line she promised herself she'd never approach.

She's falling for the man at the center of her investigation.

Sullivan is everything she should avoid: powerful, secretive, accustomed to getting his way. Yet behind his carefully controlled exterior, Maren has discovered a man capable of unexpected tenderness.

Their relationship grows more intimate as the investigation into Manhattan's exclusive Halcyon Room uncovers troubling connections to Maren's past.

But Sullivan has made compromises he refuses to discuss.

And when Maren discovers a confidential agreement bearing his signature, she must confront a possibility she desperately wants to dismiss.

The man she's learning to love may have helped protect the very people who destroyed her career.

Now desire is no longer the dangerous part.

Trust is.
