Theresa Plane believes she owes it her grandfather to save the family name after everything he has sacrificed for her. She plans to help clear their debt with creditors before she can marry Edward Greystone. As one of the creditor's threats lands her in a midnight meeting with some questionable people, she realizes that her grandfather is hiding more from her. The secrets that he kept is endangering Theresa's chances to keep their home and her life.
Secret Service operative Broderick Cosgrove feels that he is about to uncover the identity of the leader of a counterfeiting ring after months of undercover work. He is heartbroken when he realizes that his former fiancée is connected to his case. Broderick feels that she has been unwittingly pulled into joining and he plans on proving her innocence even if he destroys his career.
They decide that they have to trust each other. However, they both are keeping secrets from each other that can cost them their lives. Will they be able to trust each other?
I thought this was going to be an interesting read. However, I felt myself being bored while reading this. Theresa and Broderick seem to have a backstory but, it's never been disclosed to us. Instead we get bits and pieces as the story slowly progresses. I feel like trying to find out more about the characters was like trying to draw blood from stone. I felt like the author should have done another book that explained the characters' backstory otherwise, the readers are left out from any connections and nuances. I stopped reading one third of the way in as there was nothing keeping me tethered to the book.
**Disclosure - I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest opinion**
