This is not the way love is supposed to start... is it? When arriving in Scotland, Aiden Jacobson is ready to take on the task of setting up Cole Enterprise's newest underground headquarters. But when their most-wanted criminal, Robert de Fleur, goes into hiding, Aiden is placed undercover at a local coffee shop. His mission-gather intel from Brenda Anderson, sister of Robert de Fleur, while posing as a barista at The Grounded Bean. Coffee shop owner Brenda Anderson needs all the help she can get when it comes to keeping the Bean up and running. Unware of his ulterior motives, Brenda brings the mysterious and handsome Aiden in with only one thing on her mind... Airen. Maybe her gypsy-souled niece wouldn't wander quite so far if she had someone like Aiden to keep her grounded. Thrown together by circumstance, Airen becomes part of Aiden's mission when Robert de Fleur emerges from hiding, demanding something none of them can give. Knowing Robert won't stop until he gets what he wants, Aiden is ordered to stick as close as possible to keep an eye on them. Staying at Brenda's seems to be the simplest solution... until he wakes up in Airen's bed. Making a valiant attempt to shove his growing feelings aside, Aiden forces himself to walk away and protect Airen from afar. Unfortunately, his plan backfires, and Robert de Fleur uses that weakness to make his move. Kicking himself for allowing his feelings to get in the way of the mission, Aiden sets out to do what he should have done all along... take out Robert de Fleur once and for all. Can Aiden stick to the mission, or will Airen tear down every defense he puts in place and gain complete entrance to his heart?
