Stronghold's healer Samuel Gaviros loathes the entire Dagamis family with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. Unfortunately, Yura Dagamis is perfect for him. And guess what? They're expected to work together. No, not just expected. Required. So Samuel acquiesces and grudgingly allows the lovely chemist into his lab.
When Yura accepts the temporary job offer from Stronghold, she has more than flirtation with a scarred and sexy Samuel on her mind. For one, she has to uncover what her family is up to (aside from trying to sell Stronghold's safety to the highest bidder). The problem is, Yura's not quite ready to make amends with the very people who used to make her life a living hell. In fact, she's no more willing to make amends than Samuel is willing to, well, trust her.
Too bad because Yura's been in love with Samuel for years. It sucks, really. Because Yura always seems to long for love from people who justcan't.
In the end, Yura will have to choose between protecting a family that has never protected her, or taking a chance on a wary male who just might hold the key to her immortal heart.
