Part-time journalist Beth Styles has been assigned the terrible task of reporting on one of Seattle’s most eligible bachelors. All she has to do is get in, get the story, and get out. Everything is going fine, until she opens her big mouth and challenges the man of the hour to a bet. Thank goodness the only thing on the line is her career. And her integrity. Oh, and her hand in marriage… Real estate mogul Parker Stephenson likes to be in control, and he hates the press, so he’ll do anything to keep from ruining his reputation, including taking on this pretty, mouthy journalist.

As the youngest sibling in a family of five older brothers, Ivy Ames feels like she has something to prove, especially when it comes to Ames Security. While her brothers take on life-threatening assignments, they rarely let her near anything more dangerous than a pencil. So when her eldest brother approaches her with a proposal, Ivy is surprised. But after she learns the finer details of the assignment, she can't say no fast enough. She will definitely not pose as the girlfriend of a disgraced hockey star. Relationship trauma has left her with too much baggage. Even for a phony arrangement like this one. And especially not with a man as attractive as TJ "the Troublemaker" Jones. But when her brother ends up in the hospital, and a stalker is on the heels of the client, Ivy has little choice but to face her demons, even if it means risking her heart in the process.
“Do you remember Savannah?” How could she forget? Two decades ago, Trinity Calhoun's best friend—18-year-old Savannah Stuart—went missing. Just weeks later, Savannah’s body was found brutally slain outside the mountain town. With no suspects or leads, the local authorities dismissed the murder as a tragic one-off, likely perpetrated by a tourist. But Trinity wasn’t convinced. Determined to do better for other victims, she left town and settled in Vancouver, rising through the ranks to become a detective. She’s never looked back. But now, an unexpected phone call from her former lover has her barreling down the highway to face the past. Another young woman has disappeared under eerily similar circumstances. Allegedly. But the local police are disinterested. Trinity’s ex has a tenuous—at best—hold on his mental and physical health. And Savannah’s secretive and handsome brother is in town, asking an awful lot of questions. Trinity’s focus is clouded. Maybe her judgment, too. As she wades through her past, she needs to answer a potentially life-threatening question: is there a dangerous, repeat criminal on the loose, or is she just desperate for closure?
A murderer brought them together.
