Description

From the author of the Amaryllis Series, Midas Series, and Glacier Adventure Series:

Calhoun "Cal" Sullivan has lived multiple lives by the time he's assigned to teach an international political science class. It's a deception to recruit new team members devoted enough to sacrifice their personal lives for righting the world's wrongs.

Cal catches sight of Libby on the quad. The cousin of his only friend, Cal can't get involved because he's leaving.

She's worth everything, but maybe he isn't?

Elizabeth "Libby" Akin comes from old family money, though determined to build an independent life. One night, the walls surrounding Cal slip. He asks her out only to break the date the next day.

But the way he says her name causes her skin to ripple with pleasure.

Cal renters her life, disturbed by the chilly woman and sharp words that fall from her perfect lips. Her confidence causes him to seek her out to see what lies between them.

He never realized falling in love with Libby would place him in such an untenable work situation. As profound as marrying her is, the secrets associated with an oath he's sworn to uphold begins to destroy the very person he loves most-Libby.

Long-term effects of miscommunication and sins of omission will change lives. Their marriage is hanging by a thread. Cal is forced to defend the choices he's made.

As for Libby, the lies she's been fed can't be washed away by a drink of water.

Not now.
