A man running away from his past…

All his life, Vaughan Barrington believed his biological mother had died giving birth to him. Adopted into a loving family, he’s gotten over his trust issues and become an integral part of the Barrington dynasty. Until now.

The recent discovery that his biological mother is not only very much alive but is none other than Elizabeth Craigdon, the matriarch of the venerable Craigdon family, has rocked Vaughan to the core. In shock, he hops a plane to Bali in an effort to distance himself from Elizabeth and to give himself time alone to process the staggering news.

Ruby Ashworth is in Bali on a mission of her own. She’s been ordered by her father to get close to Vaughan Barrington in an effort to access company secrets that might sabotage the Barrington Mining operations. Ruby’s father has an ax to grind against Frank Barrington and he can think of no better way to get revenge than through the man’s adopted son.

Oblivious to Ruby’s true identity, Vaughan finds himself falling for the gorgeous and sexy blond. She’s everything he could dream of and is a nice distraction from his problems back home. As Ruby’s feelings deepen for Vaughan, she’s overcome with guilt. She owes it to her father to seek revenge, but how can she go through with it when her heart’s no longer in it?

Still, it’s too late to back out now. Her father is pressuring her to come through for him. All she can hope is that Vaughan doesn’t find out about her deception, and if he does, that he finds it in his heart to forgive her.
