About this ebook

With sparks like these, someone's bound to get burnt...

Mai On is devastated when her landlord sells her building to a property developer and the bakery she’s worked so hard to build is threatened. The last thing she needs is an outsider tearing down everything that matters to her. She’s determined not to be swayed by the sexy, charming developer.

After costing his company millions of dollars, Nicholas Shadbolt is desperate to prove himself. Taking on the re-development of a rundown building is just the stepping stone he needs towards redemption. What he’s not expecting is Mai’s determination to save her livelihood--or the fire she ignites in him.

But attraction isn’t all that's simmering in Blackbridge. Someone is out for blood. And when danger threatens the woman who’s stolen his heart, Nicholas knows he has more at stake than just his reputation.

Ratings and reviews

I have read all of Claire's books, and in my view they keep getting better and with every new novel. Claire writes a suspense story well and really keeps your attention from start to finish. Her characters are very down to earth, personable and believable. I like that the characters in this book were the same in the first Blackridge novel as you can really get into the storyline when you understand where everyone fits in. The book is written in such a way that you could also read it as a standalone, not having read book 1. Living in the area where this book is based, I was impressed with the way Claire described not just the landscape, but the attitudes of people. She got it perfectly right. I couldn't put this book down and spent a very pleasant day reading it from cover to cover. Looking forward to book 3!
