Their parents being family friends, American/English aristocrat, Blake Sharp, and Scottish playboy Alasdair Wallace were thrust together all through their childhoods. Blake thought Dair was a filthy, obnoxious, little boy bully. Dair thought Blake was a spoiled, prissy wee miss. Then Blake grew up to be a beautiful, loving woman who took care of everyone and made amazing pistachio muffins. And Dair grew up to be a protective, fun-loving, hard-living professional rugby player. In the meantime, they'd both been deeply betrayed by lovers. When their paths cross again, Blake is still reeling from her fiancé's treachery and what she learned about herself during it. Dair thinks he's recovered from a marriage to a woman who was not at all what she seemed, and now he's smitten by the woman Blake has become. So smitten, he has every intention of exploring what they can grow to be together. But their combined family history is filled with secrets and lies. Secrets and lies that explode in their faces. And while they deal with that, ghosts from the past rise up and threaten to haunt their future. Is what they built together strong enough to hold true? Or will their personal demons tear them apart?
