A growing reputation as a sensual photographer. A new superstar client. Autumn Merriwell’s career is set to soar...assuming she lives long enough.

​

When Autumn was seventeen, Rennie Degardovera gently rejected her advances. At thirty, she’s no longer a naive girl barreling headlong into love. But his return brings up all the old feelings.

​

Rennie may be a college professor now, but he’s still all wrong for Autumn. His mother is her housekeeper; he eats off paper plates and visits Mexican relatives with dirt floors. Autumn grew up in Atlanta society; she uses cloth napkins and knows the right people. She's way out of his league, no matter how tempting.

​

Then a mugger pushes Autumn off a bridge, an arsonist destroys her studio, and a gunman kills a neighbor wearing a jacket like hers.

​

Rennie's determined to protect Autumn while they find out what's going on. Autumn's determined to convince him she belongs in his life.

Neither has much time. Someone wants her dead.
