He needs her as leverage, but she has her own score to settle.
Eccentric toyseller Kat Willoughby grew up as Spruce Hill royalty, but she's desperate to get as far from her past as possible. When Nico, her unrequited first love and childhood best friend, crashes back into her life, she has to decide whether to keep running away or finally make a move. But there's a catch-he needs her in order to reclaim the inheritance stolen by Kat's treacherous father, a painting that's the only connection Nico has to his own parents. While she might be a willing accomplice, Kat has her own agenda.
Nico Beaumont can't let his feelings for Kat derail his plan to restore his family's legacy, no matter how the memories haunt him. He regrets walking away from her without a fight all those years ago, and his attempt to use her as leverage to get the painting makes a warm reunion unlikely. Failure will devastate Nico's family back in France, severing generations of shared history, but success could destroy his burgeoning relationship with Kat.
With time running out to recover the priceless artwork before her father sells it, Kat and Nico must overcome their past and outsmart the man who once tore them apart, even when their lives are threatened in the process.
Because second chances don't come cheap.
