In the glittering South of France, Evie finds herself at a dangerous impasse where love, betrayal, and a stolen ruby pendant intertwine in a web of intrigue.

Life took a sharp turn for Evie Madison the night her grandmother's necklace was brutally taken. Ten years later, the chance to steal it back is too tempting to resist. But is it coincidence or something more sinister that the first person she encounters is Raphael Dauphin—the hot as hell Frenchman who shattered her heart when he vanished from her life that same night a decade ago?

As security guards searching for Evie close in, he offers an escape route. His protection, in exchange for posing as his fiancée to secure a crucial property deal on the French Riviera.

Caught between the devil and henchmen ready to throw her into the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, her decision seems simple enough... But as Raph and Evie's explosive chemistry reignites, so the dangers lurking in the shadows of the past awaken. Suddenly it's not just her heart Evie's risking, but her life too.
