Shattered

In this romantic suspense from a USA Today–bestselling author, a woman pursued by a passionate suitor discovers she is a pawn in a family revenge scheme.

When architect Holly Fairfield lands a dream job renovating a posh San Francisco restaurant, she quickly realizes this opportunity has not happened by chance. Soon she's caught in a dangerous game between members of the wealthy Cutty family, rivals who share a dark legacy of obsession and murder.

Enigmatic and sensual Ryan Cutty warns her to get out while she can. He taunts her with the portrait of a woman called Nina, a woman he planned to marry . . . a woman whose past Holly can't ignore.

Suddenly Holly realizes that her presence here may be part of a sinister plan to exact vengeance for Nina's murder.

As Holly is drawn deeper into Ryan's world and his intoxicating embrace, she can only wonder if his passion is a desperate attempt to save her from Nina's fate . . . or protect the family he loves from the secrets Holly is determined to uncover. She is dangerously close to unlocking the truth—but is it worth her life?

A terrific writer who knows how to keep the reader turning the pages. —Jayne Ann Krentz
