Caden Ashford is a collector. He has an eye for beautiful, priceless treasures, and he has a talent for procuring them for the highest bidder. His business endeavors aren’t exactly legal, but Cade never shied away from a bit of danger and moral ambiguity. And he has a perfect success rate with a long list of very happy clients. Until her. Kara Caine is a protector. She is an avid lover of literature and history, and as a librarian and archivist, she ensures their survival for future generations with the utmost care. But when a stranger comes and threatens what she has sworn to protect, Kara has to decide if saving her ancient texts is worth paying the ultimate price. Thrust into the most unlikely of situations, Kara finds herself kidnapped and imprisoned in Ashford Manor with no escape in sight. Even worse, she finds herself developing feelings for her arrogant, controlling, infuriating bastard of a captor. Cade intends to break her by any means necessary. But he never expected his captive to wage war on his dark, cynical heart.
