How do you stop a killer when everyone thinks you're dead?

When Newport Beach heiress Hayley Fordham heads to Costa Rica on an art commission, she has no idea she's narrowly escaped an assassin's car bomb. Suddenly her stepsiblings have arranged her funeral and divided the family trust.

The fact that Hayley is still very much alive remains a secret to everyone but FBI investigator Ryan Hollister. Ryan has zero tolerance for the pampered elite. But there's something about Hayley that sets his blood racing.

With evidence pointing to a Fordham family associate, Ryan needs her cooperation more than he dares admit. Because now, especially now, he's prepared to risk anything to stop Hayley from being killed...again.
