When Michaela Sellars accepts a job to pen a family biography on the Ramseys of Seattle, Washington she is totally unprepared for the dramatic shift her life is about to take. The savvy investigative journalist turned successful author has caught the scent of a sensational story and has every intention of uncovering every ugly layer. Then she meets Quest Ramsey. Laid back and to-die-for land developer can set the most no-nonsense woman off kilter. Mick discovers she's no different and has no weapon capable of fending off the insatiable attraction this man instills. Pretense... Quay Ramsey has lived with the fact that he's cursed in love for many years. Of course one would never look at him and believe such a thing. Tall, dark and to-die-for, the man's success with women is the stuff of legend. Sadly, that prowess with the opposite sex hasn't brought Quay the one woman he desires above all others. Just as well, since he's done everything he can think of to ensure that Tykira Lowery stays as far away from him as possible. Her very life depended on it. At least, that's what has motivated Quay's actions for the better part of fifteen years. Pushing Ty away had been the hardest thing he'd ever done but he had no intention of changing course then. Not when truths uncovered by the unlikely intervention of a tenacious investigative journalist rearrange everything Quay thought he knew.
