Following the deaths of her adoptive parents, Solange Washington is finally ready to move on. But after she has a run-in with magnificently bare-chested Dane Roarke, a private investigator hired to run a routine background check on her, Solange's pulse goes wild--even as questions about her past surface.... Dane knows there's more to Solange's story than meets the eye, and he suspects it has to do with secrets about her real parents. Torn by his desire for this vibrant lady and his growing suspicions, Dane walks a thin line between trust and truth...because passion has made this case personal.
