Why could no one understand they were meant for each other?
Fly too close to the sun and you'll get burned. Zechariah knows that only too well. But he hadn't flown to the sun. She'd come to him. And he's absorbing her rays, wanting, needing, desperately reaching for more.
But the sun can't shine in a cave, which is where he belongs.
Zechariah's unappealing appearance has caused him nothing but grief all his life. Even his mother rejected him. How could someone as beautiful as Augusta Mae Anderson want to even be in the same room with him? Yet he's drawn to her – mind, body, heart.
Augusta Mae has never met anyone like Zechariah Baroudi. He doesn't see her as a shallow, stupid blonde like everyone else does. Brilliant himself, he appreciates her hard work and her intellect, respects her. He accepts her for who she is and seems to understand her without even trying.
And he has the most beautiful eyes...
Too bad that his bodyguards – aka, his obnoxious brothers – won't leave them alone. Too bad they're fighting with everyone they love because they're together.
Too bad Augusta Mae and Zechariah could lose the love of a lifetime.
