About this book
When Blake Carter sets his sights on the Palmerston family's notorious black sheep to dig up dirt on their arranged marriage, he figures Mercer is easy prey—until he realizes this sharp-witted, lingerie-loving brat is far more complicated than he bargained for. Blake's trained eye for reading people usually serves him well in his private contracting work, but Mercer's got layers of deflection and wit hiding something deeper that only Blake seems willing to see. As they navigate a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse filled with family secrets, hidden agendas, and undeniable chemistry, Blake discovers that patience and trust might be the only weapons that matter. This sexy, darkly charming romance explores what happens when two damaged people finally find someone willing to look past the masks.

“Create a playlist called Little Demon in the Details. Dark, tension-soaked indie and R&B with industrial undertones. Moody vocals over heavy beats—think seductive yet dangerous. Brittle wit meets raw vulnerability. Sensual, contemporary darkness: artists like FKA twigs, The Neighbourhood, Cigarettes After Sex, Banks, and James Blake. Spicy and magnetic.”
