When her new client sidles all four hundred and fifty pounds of his striped glory into her office, Kat realises she might have been wrong in the past, dogs are great but there is a cat person she wants to find buried in herself.
Kat
Kat is capable and has her shit together, or so she has everybody believe. When her boss assigns her to a new project—the biggest one yet—she's determined to prove herself.What she didn't expect was a client who not only needs a new online shop but also a place to stay. Where better than the spare bedroom she meant to rent out for ages?
Kat is there every step of the way, helping Roy back on his feet. But is what blooms between them just rebound sex or something deeper? And will he still want her when the shadow surrounding him has finally lifted?
Roy
The story of Roy Sinclair's life reads like a fairy tale. Half Indian, half Scottish, he was raised by his single mother in a small village on the edge of the Highlands. Not brainy but with plenty of brawn, he started working as a personal coach before founding first one, then another successful company and hustling his way up the ladder in the world of e-commerce.He's wealthy enough, has a beautiful partner, a new car and a luxurious lifestyle most people can only dream of. What nobody knows is that he's harbouring a dark secret.
When he crosses paths with Kat McGowan, a no-nonsense software architect with a fondness for dogs, his carefully constructed world begins to crack. But cracks are, after all, how the light gets in.
When Kat offers him a way out and her friendship, Roy finds himself at a crossroads in his life. Will he continue living a lie or face the truth and embrace a new beginning? And if he does, will Kat still be there to support him as he rebuilds his life from the ruin he's kept hidden for so long?
