Once upon a time, Monroe Sinclair was Brodan Adair’s best friend, but now he’s a stranger
and one of Hollywood’s leading men…
 
It took Monroe Sinclair eighteen years to return home to Ardnoch after a fateful night that
devastated her friendship with Brodan Adair. She fled her unrequited love for him, as well as
her difficult family life, and tried not to look behind her. Only a daughter’s guilt could lure
her back to the Highlands and the assumption that Brodan Adair rarely ever sets foot in their
hometown. She can handle seeing the rest of the Adairs so long as she can avoid her ex-best
friend and the only man she’s ever loved.
Nothing is more important to Brodan than family, and only his demons have the power to
keep him from them. For years, acting was something he was lucky enough to be good at, yet
it wasn’t his priority—Ardnoch and his siblings were. But when a ghost from his past
returned out of the blue, Brodan tried to outrun its haunting, taking him further and further
from home. When exhaustion finally forces him back to the family fold, the last thing he
wants is to encounter another ghost. But that’s exactly what Monroe Sinclair has been to him.
When a promise to his nephew obliges Brodan to work with Monroe, it forces them to face
their past. The explosive connection that has always existed between them resurrects truths
long buried. Yet, just when they might be on the brink of a second chance, the ghost from
Brodan’s past finally catches up to him and threatens not just their happiness, but their very
lives.
