Seduced into a life of forbidden passion and the promise of an inheritance he never knew he had, Davidson must decide. He can cling to the respectable life he knows, or become the scandalous heir to a fortune—and a man—he cannot defy. Their tryst will set off a firestorm that may burn to the ground everything they have built. Amidst the rubble, Davidson must decide if being Joe's heir is worth the price of his past, and if their love can survive the scandal that has bound them.
