Duncan has just been assigned to protect Kristof Adame's daughter when his health is failing and the rest of his children have been killed. He is sent to Australia to try and befriend her and keep her safe from Kristof's enemies.

Willow Kim escaped from England the moment her mother and boyfriend are killed. She wants to be as far away from her father and everything he is involved in as possible. She has opened her own bakery and is happy with her new life.

When she befriends her new "neighbors" she has no idea what she is about to get involved in. Will she learn the truth and what it means for her?

I thought Duncan was a great character and you knew almost immediately that he would end up falling for Willow. Yet I wasn't too sure what that would mean for everything.

I admired Willow for having the ability to escape to Australia but you knew she was going to be dragged back into her father's life.

I was definitely mad at Kristof for dragging Willow back into his life and then for having her meet certain criteria about who she was required to marry and why.

Through the story there was also the story of the betrayal of the clans and who was behind so many deaths. I was completely shocked at what was revealed with this and everything that happened with it.

I felt terrible for Duncan as he was subject to watching Willow be with anyone that was deemed respectable to her father to carry on his legacy.

I loved what was discovered at the end with Kristof's health and then what Willow did at the end of the book!!

Such a great story and I loved how it turned out!
