She’s been hurt too many times… Single mom Tiana Fitzgerald has sworn off all romantic relationships to protect herself and her daughter. Her track record is disastrous and she’s done getting hurt. But a certain sexy Scotsman in Crimson Point has other ideas, and somehow manages to sneak past her defenses at every turn. As the hits keep coming and her life implodes, she begins to see he’s unlike any man she’s ever known. Now he’s become the greatest threat to her heart, because there’s no possible future for them. Not when he’s leaving the country in a few weeks. And when her worst fears are realized, she must risk everything by placing her trust in in his hands. He’s determined to capture her heart. Scotsman Aidan MacIntyre never saw the fiery, beautiful Tiana coming. The prickly redhead has gotten under his skin as badly as he wants to get under hers. But she’s determined to keep walls between them. Luckily the former Royal Marine doesn’t know how to give up. Someone from her past wants to hurt her, but Aidan will stand between her and any threat. He’ll stop at nothing to protect her and the little girl who have completely stolen his heart—and fight for them to have a future together.

Tiana has had it with men! After her third long term relationship ended when she found out he had tried to molest her daughter, Tiana is giving up on men. Pit her stupid body didn't get the memo. It heats up every time a certain fiery Scotsman gets anywhere near her. But Ella is her priority and she won't knowingly put her in harms way again. Aidan has had tough scrape himself with love but when he finds out what Tiana and Ella have been through, his blood boils. He wants to get his own turn with the slimy paedophile. But Tiana, well she brightens his day but he has to leave soon over a visa glitch. He is not about to pursue something with her. But Tiana has more on her plate than a potential romance - Ella's father has come back into her life and now she is panicking he'll use her disastrous past to get custody! Sadly we haven't seen the last of Brian either! Plenty of twists and turns to keep you happy! Tiana is a bit of a Witch with a capital B to Aidan but you can totally see where she is coming from and even Aidan decides she was just being a good mum. Aidan is persistent but not stalkerish! I enjoyed the way that although there was a HEA, they did have to wait a bit! So sad to leave the Crimson Point gang behind!
