Gina Sinclair is trying to look after her grandma's best interests and the family estate as she fends off attempts to send grandma to a rest home. She’s got no time or desire to fall for a man, but there’s something about the mild-mannered accountant she can’t resist.
Mitchell Wolf is a creature with only a few weeks to live unless he finds the key to his survival hidden at Xanadu, the Sinclair's family mansion. When Libby Sinclair secretly hires Mitch to protect her granddaughter, he can't believe his luck. Protecting Gina will absolve his clan from a centuries old debt, and give him a chance to surreptitiously search for the key. Posing as a mild-mannered accountant, he moves into the estate to conduct an inventory, and finds his hands full trying to protect Gina from danger. From the moment they meet, Gina is suspicious, yet curiously attracted to him.
Julie Castle is a natural-born romantic with a modicum of artistic talent inherited from her mom and a love for telling tall tales she got from her dad. That set her up for being a starving artist, the biggest fibber in the world, or a romance author. She’s so glad she chose the latter. She's always had a love affair with the written word. As a child growing up in a small town, she loved visiting the local library, a converted gilded age mansion, and getting lost between the pages of a book. The drafty old mansion could be a spooky place, but she still loved it. She enjoyed poking into behind the scenes areas she wasn't supposed to venture into. She's still the same way, which is why she loves writing romance with an edge, paranormal, suspenseful, super sexy, or just laugh your pants off funny. She resides in Wisconsin with her family.
