He is still thinking of a loop hole to avoid marriage all together when he sees her. From that distance, at that angle she looks like his Delilah. He can't let her walk away.

Investigative researcher Iris Thorne has spent years scrubbing her connection to the elite Blackwood family, living a life of quiet anonymity to escape a past that nearly destroyed her. But her carefully constructed world shatters when a cryptic, wax-sealed letter arrives. Inside is a single photograph of her brother—who went missing three years ago—and a heavy obsidian key to a vault she didn’t know existed.

With the killer closing in and the secrets of the Blackwood ledger finally coming to light, Iris must decide if Silas Vane is her protector or the predator she was sent to expose?
