Marco Lareci is one of Wall Street's most successful-and sexy-investment brokers who's achieved all of his life's goals. Except for finding his soulmate. His latest project, an abandoned resort on Loch Sheldrake, needs a savvy designer to transform the crumbling complex into a boutique hotel. When Marco meets Kate, he can't believe his luck. She's the perfect match for his business and his heart. Marco's body excites Kate even more than does his renovation project.

Kate's aunt disappeared from the place fifty years ago. If you love intense romantic novels, and elements of romantic suspense and paranormal romance, you will love Hearts Unloched.
