 He’s a disgraced actor. She’s the daughter of Hollywood royalty. Both are hiding in the Scottish Highlands, but despite their antagonistic attraction, they can’t seem to hide from each other… North Hunter has worked hard to step out of the shadows of his orphaned upbringing into the limelight of Hollywood. He never imagined a dark moment from his childhood returning to destroy everything he’d built. Devastated, he finds comfort in the isolation of an exclusive members-only club in the Scottish Highlands, even if the club comes with a prickly estate manager who sets his blood on fire. As the eldest daughter of a Hollywood legend, Aria Howard has learned the hard way that people will use her to get to her father. When her last relationship ended badly, Aria fled to Scotland. Running Ardnoch Estate provides distance from a life that has never fit comfortably. But when defamed Scottish actor North Hunter disrupts her sanctuary, Aria is on the defense. The cocky actor is the last thing she needs, and despite their searing attraction, Aria is determined to dislike him. But one night of drunken forced proximity with North leads Aria to share insecurities seeded by her horrible ex. When North offers to prove her ex wrong by taking Aria to his bed for a no-strings distraction, they begin an affair neither expected. However, their fiery liaison leads to a deep emotional connection that unsettles them both, and North will have to break down more than Aria’s trust issues if they’re ever to have a future together. He’ll need to protect her from a past that just doesn’t want to stay buried… or lose something far more essential to his existence than his career. 4.5 Heart Review by Ashley Back in the highlands with a double dose of drama and danger? Yes please and thank you. Plus catching glimpses of the Adair family is always a treat. From the second time these two came face to face they butted heads. Aria's reception of the down on his luck actor was icy at best. He left a sour taste in her mouth and she wasn't afraid to let him know that she didn't appreciate his antics. But he wasn't going to let her surly attitude deter him from being who he was. Nothing like a little forced proximity and a hearty dose of booze to get them to lower the walls and come to an understanding of sorts. I loved North's not so slow fall. How he tried to get Aria to see herself through his eyes and not the lens thrust upon her. How he proved what he meant, not just in his words but his actions as well. And for all the confidence he helped instill in her, she gave him a soft place to land when the world was less than kind. But not everyone was happy about them being together and they did their best to drive a wedge between them... I felt like I was holding my breath through the final quarter of the book. It was twisted and wild and could've gone anywhere. I mean whoa! Aria and North's enemies to lovers romance had me hanging on every word. It was sexy and suspenseful while also brimming with empowerment and healing. And that ending...what?!? I can't wait to get back to the estate to see what Samantha Young has in store next!
