The Romance they never expected... The Love that binds their souls... The Danger that threatens to destroy them both... Ace negotiator Jillian Harper can’t understand why she’s been shipped off to Miami for a cultural convention, just as hemisphere-wide negotiations to fight drug trafficking reach a critical climax. The mystery deepens when her quaint taxi driver delivers her--not to the hotel where the convention will be held--but to the estate of prominent financier Blake Crawford. It takes all her diplomatic skills--and courage--to navigate the tumultuous events that follow when Blake introduces Jillian as his fiance, announcing they will be married in ten days. Jillian soon learns that the “Secret Lives” of others will determine if she lives or dies--and to live, she must embrace a secret life of her own. Can Jillian survive a betrayal of trust--and the discovery of a powerful, love that may ask her to sacrifice her life to protect the man she loves?
