Book Description:
Lia Meyers' plan for a relaxing Scottish vacation is short-lived when one uncharacteristic moment of clumsiness lands her in the arms of a dangerously attractive Englishman.
The perfect opportunity for a much needed holiday romance? Wrong! Lia’s still reeling from the mother of all bad breakups, and she really doesn't have the patience for Alastair Holden – despite his effortless charm and sexy British accent.
Arrogant and totally inscrutable, he's exactly the sort of guy she wants to avoid but can't: the man behind the mystery proves just too tempting to resist.
Drawn to him, Lia is forced to battle with her own insecurities, and the closer they become, the more she recognizes her own weaknesses as she peels away his layers with every night they spend together. Discovering the past Alastair is so desperate to conceal, Lia must decide if they can heal one another together or if their deepest fears will tear them apart.

Excerpt:
“You’re
quite lovely, Lia. Pity you’re leaving soon. I’d like to take you—” he paused,
tracing his thumb over my lower lip. I shuddered. “—out. Again.”
“You
would?” I asked hoarsely.
Nodding, he
stroked the curve of my cheek. “Are you coming back to Glasgow after the
wedding?”
“Yeah…yes.
Saturday.”
Backing
away from him, I bumped into the arm of the couch. I almost toppled over it,
but managed to steady myself. Being in his presence made me so damn skittish,
it was frustrating.
“I’m
supposed to make an appearance at a cocktail party for my grandfather’s
company.”
Oh good,
he’s busy.
“You should
come. Or we could go out to dinner.” Like an apparition, he was in front of me,
stroking his fingers along my arm. “What do you say? Fancy spending the night
with me?”
The
unspoken promise behind that question nearly shattered me on the spot. This was
supposed to be an easy trip across the pond. Go to the wedding, hang out with
the family and go home. Not fend off an amazingly sexy, impossible-to-resist
guy.
“Stop
overthinking,” he ordered.
Stormy,
dark eyes carved a path through my skull. I wilted beneath the strength of his
stare. A shaky breath escaped my lips as he traced his finger along my jaw and
down my neck. He drew me into his hypnotic orbit with such ease. I was
powerless to resist.
“This is
inevitable, Amelia. Don’t deny it.”
Inevitable?
Each stroke of his fingers left a fiery trail in its wake. The smooth, soft
skin of his cheek brushed against mine.
“Come with
me.”
Oh Jesus,
those three words. I
jolted out of his seductive haze like I was on fire, trying to avoid his eyes.
His expression was one of pure lust.
“No,” I
whispered.
His mouth
fell open slightly in surprise. “No?”
“No,” I
repeated, louder. “Do you not hear that word very often?”
Impassivity
dominated his features. He studied me as though I was the most confusing
creature on the planet. We stood so close to one another I was overcome by his
intoxicating scent.
“Why not?”
“Because,”
I sighed. “I’m not interested.”
“In what,
Lia? Food or drinks?”
“You know
what I mean.”
