The last thing I expected was getting trapped on a private island with my stoic, brooding, gorgeous contractor.<\/p>\n<p>Ramsay McRae is a man with secrets. He prefers the company of his dog to people and silence to any semblance of politeness. He says I\u2019m too young, too sweet, too innocent.<\/p>\n<p>Only he doesn\u2019t know the truth. That I\u2019m haunted by a crime that tore my life apart two years ago. I\u2019ve come to Half-Light Harbor not just to start over, but to bring the monster who killed my parents to justice.<\/p>\n<p>The last thing I need is a tortured Scot distracting me from my mission. But when his restraint snaps and my walls crumble, the results are explosive.<\/p>\n<p>We say it\u2019s only a no-strings-attached affair. A temporary moment to burn out this fire between us.<\/p>\n<p>However, when my search for the truth brings danger to my door, it\u2019s Ramsay stepping in to protect me. But it might be the secrets from\u00a0<em>his<\/em>\u00a0past that tear us apart forever\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/220722158\"><strong>Add to Goodreads<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Meet Samantha<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"41147\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=41147\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Samantha-Young-e1588592024713.jpg?fit=500%2C554&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,554\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Samantha Young\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Samantha-Young-e1588592024713.jpg?fit=150%2C166&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-41147 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Samantha-Young-e1588592024713.jpg?resize=155%2C172\" alt=\"\" width=\"155\" height=\"172\" data-attachment-id=\"41147\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=41147\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Samantha-Young-e1588592024713.jpg?fit=500%2C554&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,554\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Samantha Young\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Samantha-Young-e1588592024713.jpg?fit=100%2C111&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Samantha-Young-e1588592024713.jpg?fit=150%2C166&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Samantha Young is a New York Times,\u00a0<em>USA Today<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Wall Street Journal<\/em>\u00a0bestselling author.
