Nor will Rissa wish for his love once she becomes aware that the scandal in Zachary’s past is connected to her family and the stepmother she adores. Unfortunately the past has a way of intruding into the present, and when it seems Rissa’s very life might be in danger, Zachary is determined to protect her. No matter what the cost.
