"ZORA THOUGHT THREE THOUSAND MILES OF OCEAN WOULD BE ENOUGH TO HIDE FROM A MONSTER. SHE WAS WRONG."
Desperate to find safety, Zora flees the city and heads for the rugged sanctuary of Ireland. She finds refuge in a bed-and-breakfast off the coast, owned by a bubbly woman named Mary, who welcomes her with open arms. Zora's goals remain the same: find peace and remain invisible.
Zora hasn't taken Mary's son, Ciaran, into account.
"With flaming red hair and tattoos covering his skin, Ciaran is fire personified." A brawler with iron in his fists and heat in his blood, he is a man of restless energy who doesn't know what to make of the skittish American woman staying under his mother's roof. She avoids making eye contact. The sound of his voice makes her flinch. She is a woman living in a permanent winter, and his usual intensity only seems to push her further into the cold.
As Zora thaws slowly under Mary's kindness and the unexpected warmth of Ciaran's fierce, watchful gaze, she realizes this Irishman's fire isn't something to fear-it's a beacon. But when the shadows of her past finally come knocking on the door of the B&B, Zora will find out just how hot a brawler's fire can burn to protect his American.
