Maxie's company is going through a major merger. She works. Goes home and doesn't really go out with people. Especially in the summer because she hates the heat. So one day as she's leaving when she's approached by a colleague she doesn't really know how to deal with it. Ana tells her she found something out that could ruin the merger and she doesn't know what to do but she would really like to have Maxie's opinion. 

They agree to talk later but Maxie never hears from Ana that weekend. She doesn't see her at work again either. Through some digging Maxie figures out this secret. She accidentally lets it slip to the wrong person and is attacked. 

Now she's in need of protection and she lands in the capable hands of Lot. Due to forced proximity, tension rises and feelings develop. Can Kit keep her safe? You'll have to read to find out how it all ends.
