Selena Powell doesn’t let many people get close to her. Running a billion-dollar art and antiquities import business taught her to be careful who she lets inside her defenses, and she goes to great lengths to protect herself. But when she hires a friend of her nephew, she finds herself drawn to him. For Selena, the feelings she has for Carter Sullivan is uncharted territory.
Ex-cop Carter Sullivan isn’t thrilled to take the job at Powell Trading, but his finances dictate he can’t be picky. He doesn’t know Ms. Powell, nor does he really care to. He knows enough of her reputation from the press to know she is one person to avoid. She’s cold as ice, but the more he’s around her, the more he wonders if there isn’t more to her.
When Selena’s security is breached, and her personal bodyguard is almost killed, she has no choice but to rely on Carter Sullivan to keep her safe. Though their personalities mix as well as oil and water, both find themselves drawn to the other. And if they are to find true love, both will have to let their guards down and see one another for who they really are.
Note from author: “This is the third book in The Heart’s Way series, approximately 55,000 words. Selena and Carter’s story came together almost in tandem with the second book. I fell in love with Jack from Book 2 Ask Me To, but when Selena popped on the scene toward the end, she intrigued me. I hope you find her story as enjoyable to read as I found writing it.
All The Heart’s Way books can be read separately, but like most series, it’s more fun in order. All books in the series are available now. Please note this is an open-door romance. I hope you enjoy.” – Elizabeth Castle.
