Heir of Hearts Series: Book 2 of 6

I made one rule when I took the job at the Ozler winery.

Stay away from Quinn.

It lasted approximately three days.

Now we're partners. Secret ones. Running a business out of the barn kitchen at midnight, playing Chess and Confess in the dark, pretending the line between us is still intact.

It isn't.

Quinn Ozler is harder to resist up close. Turns out brooding and dangerous looks a lot different when the man is also rebuilding himself one honest conversation at a time.

I should know better. I always know better.

Then the threats start. Something colder than campus noise. Someone who knows about my mother. Someone who knew her name before I ever said it out loud.

And now the CandyMan knows mine. He left a note on Quinn's windshield in a dark parking lot while we were twenty feet away.

Stop before you get hurt.

He knows what we drive. He knows what we've built. He's been watching us long enough to know exactly how much we have to lose. I've survived worse than this.

I've survived everything, actually. But I've never survived wanting someone the way I want Quinn.

And I've never been this close to something real at the exact moment everything around it started to burn.

✔ forced proximity ✔ secret business partners ✔ escalating danger ✔ a heroine with a past she can't outrun ✔ a hero who's done pretending he doesn't care
