The past can be murder on relationships.
Isabel Beachwood just lost her dream job. Now she’s forced to move out of her precious Victorian apartment, and in with her stepsister, bringing back ugly memories of a painful childhood.
Ty Griffin is a financial magnate who deals in multi-million dollar mergers and acquisitions. His bespoke suits can’t hide a body worthy of a professional athlete. Those intense azure eyes telegraph a keen intellect. And his mouth, the only soft thing about him, is sinfully sensual. But his drive to succeed has all but obliterated any chance for a personal life.
Isabel is surprised when, during her moving sale, none other than the white-hot Ty Griffin, CEO of Grandin Financial, buys her prized Carmel-by-the-Sea table. When she finds out he’s part of the reason she lost her job, her apartment, and her adorable table, she’s incensed.
The moment Ty meets the voluptuous and challenging Isabel Beachwood, he’s completely enthralled. He’s the kind of man who’s used to getting what he wants. And he wants Isabel.
While their steamy relationship heats up, an insidious danger seems to be shadowing them. It’s a treacherous threat that could ruin everything.Soon Ty and Isabel are dealing with an over-protective stepsister, a highly trained German Shepherd, a pain in the butt Welsh Corgi, a jealous gold-digger, an obsessed suitor, a former lover, and Isabel’s quirky tech colleagues. All of which turn out to be the least of their problems.
Because the past won’t die. And it can be murder.
Isabel thought she had a great job that she loved, the apartment she wanted and a great trained dog named Pilot until another company came in and bought the place were she worked. She now has to sell her favorite table and move in with her step sister.
Ty is a rich, hot and the only thing he does is work until he goes to Isabel’s apartment to purchase a table. When he first meets her he is mesmerized by her. He has never been attracted to someone so much he would love nothing more then to get to know her better. He can’t get her off his mind.
Isabel can’t believe someone like Ty would be interested in her. Since the age of fifteen she has been told by her step sisters and step father that she was fat and ugly. Ty can’t believe that Isabel doesn’t think she’s the most beautiful sexy woman he’s ever seen and men are always starring at her but she thinks it’s because she’s overweight.
When everything starts going great for Isabel and Ty something tragic happens from ex boyfriends, to obsessed coworker to her step father returning to hurt her. Can their love survive all this?
I couldn’t help but like all the characters in this book, I especially loved Pilot. He was a great judge of character and a great addition to the story. I hope the author will continue and give us a story about Ellen and Andrew. – Reviewed by Catherine Coffman
