Smite Turner is renowned for his single-minded devotion to his duty as a magistrate. But behind his relentless focus lies not only a determination to do what is right, but the haunting secrets of his past—secrets that he is determined to hide, even if it means keeping everyone else at arm’s length. Until the day an irresistible woman shows up as a witness in his courtroom.

Miranda Darling isn’t in trouble—yet. But she’s close enough that when Turner threatens her with imprisonment if she puts one foot wrong, she knows she should run in the other direction. And yet no matter how forbidding the man seems on the outside, she can’t bring herself to leave. Instead, when he tries to push her away, she pushes right back—straight through his famous self-control, and into the heart of the passion that he has long hidden away.

Letztens brauchte ich aus diversen Gründe Comfort Food in Form von Lesestoff (das macht total Sinn, ehrlich). Irgendwas mit einem gut lesbaren Stil, wunderbaren Figuren, einer ordentlichen Portion Feels und einem garantiertem Happy End. “Perfekt”, dachte ich. “Ich muss wieder Courtney Milan lesen.” Und dann fiel mir ein, dass es da ja noch die Turner-Brüder gibt, und ich nach “Unveiled” brav geblieben war und mir die anderen Bücher nicht gekauft hatte.
