Riley’s brutal attack remains as much a mystery as the security leak she’s been hired to trace – but her arrangement with Dirk is what has her feeling the most confused. At times he is remarkably sweet, but his tendency to try to control every aspect of her life is threatening to drive her mad. She knows he’s just trying to keep her safe, but she doesn’t need his domineering presence hovering over her.
Especially since the relationship is marked with an expiration date.
She keeps reminding herself that he’s not Mr. Right – he’s Mr. Right Now – but can she really believe herself? The best possible thing for both of them is for her to find the leak and finish the job quickly, before whatever they have gets too complicated to bear…no matter how much danger she has to put herself in to do so.
The last thing Riley wants is heartbreak. But the last thing Dirk wants is to endanger her life.
And if she can’t accept at least some of his help, she just might lose more than her independence.
