Ultimate Surrender

“Run away from me while you still can.”

Ryan Scott was shocked to find Dr. Kayla Davies outside the mountain cabin where his wife had died a year earlier. At first Kayla recoiled in fear of the man she believed had hurt her sister, but only a few hours later wondered how this compassionate detective could be the threat Lauren had described. In his arms she tasted passion she’d never believed possible, but if she dared confess her dark secret, could Ryan forgive her?

Proving that love woven from shared sorrow can be a sweet victory over heartbreak, Jill Shalvis writes with touching emotion and tender sensuality. Trapped in a web of old deceits, they struggled together to silence their ghosts, but once he understood all that she’d stolen from him, would it cost her everything she’d grown to love?
