Heart surgeon Caitlin Taylor is a seamstress of damaged hearts—not broken ones. She needs help this time, the help of a most dangerous man. He is Jesse Falconer, author of darkly erotic thrillers and defender of snow white-lions. Jesse is also twin to maestro trauma surgeon Patrick Falconer, Caitlin's mentor and friend. Now Patrick—the good twin, the golden twin—will die very soon unless a bone-marrow donor is found. Jesse could be that donor, but because of a bitter betrayal long ago, the Falconer twins are fiercely estranged . . . and Patrick would rather die than ask for the tarnished twin's help. But Caitlin is daring and determined. Her journey to save Patrick will take her through a tropical rainstorm to the cliff-top estate of Patrick's dark, mysterious, and alarmingly sensual brother. She will encounter a different kind of storm with Jesse, and her new journey will be the most perilous one of all—from secrets and betrayal to the risks and promises of love.
