   Summary

   Colin falls in love first. Then, when he’s already in too deep, he discovers an unforgivable sin he’s determined she will never uncover.

   Penelope only knows the man she loves says he has to stay away, and he won’t tell her why.

   But he should stay away from her, because she was never supposed to matter like this. Never supposed to get under his skin, into his bed, into every part of him he can’t cut out.

   Now she’s building something powerful enough to rival his family.

   And if she ever learns the truth, she won’t just break his heart.

   She’ll destroy him.
