When a rebel on parole and the uptight doctor who put him in prison have to work together to fulfil a dying man's final wish, they find that the worst fate of all is falling in love. In this sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance, Natalie Murray, author of Love, Just In and Lights, Camera, Love, shows herself again to be an expert on love.

Dr Lara Beckett lives for order—baking, pyjamas and podcasts help her cope with the chaos that always seems to find her. But when her adored father passes away, Lara's world falls apart. She throws herself into her work, but the carjacking that she and her dad lived through six years ago—and his decision to forgive and befriend one of the offenders—still haunts her.

Fresh out of jail, Jace Evans is lost without the support of Lara's father, Noah—the only person who's ever seen past his mistakes. Raised on the wrong side of the tracks, Jace never wanted to be part of the crime that left its mark on Lara, but guilt and anger won't let him move on. Then, in a cruel twist of fate, Noah's final wish on his deathbed forces Lara and Jace to work together to fulfil a list of tasks, with the promise of a life-changing reward at the end.

Reluctantly, they agree, each determined to outlast the other. But as they work through the list, their walls begin to come down and sparks start to fly. The simmering tension between them ignites a dangerous attraction that neither saw coming.

In this sizzling enemies-to-lovers story, can Lara and Jace overcome their difficult past to embrace a future they never imagined, or will the wounds of yesterday destroy their chance at true love?

'A glorious story of love and redemption, full of chemistry and heartwarming moments. It hooked me in from the start and never let me go, especially because the sexual tension was so unbearably perfect. I laughed, cried and gasped at all the twists and turns. I'm so sad I can't read it for the first time all over again. I miss the characters already!' LEESA RONALD, author of Special Delivery
