Ron and Ashley have a past connection, but Ron is the only one aware of it. When he begins to receive anonymous clues leading him to Ashley, he uses false pretenses to try to get close to her. Ashley doesn't make his task easy, but Ron is nothing if not persistent. He begins to foster a relationship with her and ends up liking her more and more as he begins to see beyond the outward confidence she projects. Ashley succumbs to Ron's pressure to look further into her parents' deaths without realizing his secret motive. He realizes it will tear them apart if she finds out, so he just has to make sure she doesn't despite the danger that secret brings.
The title for this book was definitely appropriate. The relationship between the two characters was a nice slow burn leading to a building passion. While the villain was made obvious from the start, trying to determine who all was in on the plot added to the suspense and intrigue. I particularly liked the ending and the vindication it gave to a character I had been secretly rooting for.
I received an ARC from Net Galley for review.
