Their subterfuge quickly grows complicated as Jared yearns for a connection—not only with his family, but also with the once-bitten Matilda. But first he’ll have to convince her to let a younger man into her heart… From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness.
