Running from an abusive ex-husband who tried to murder her, Kate Alexander's life is turned upside down. Learning of the death of her grandmother, the only woman who ever believed in her, is almost Kate's complete undoing, especially when the devastating news comes from a man so lacking in human emotion he may as well be a robot. Yet Kate is drawn to Matt Stevens in a way she never before experienced. Could there be more to this unlikely friend of her grandmother's - something beyond the cold surface he presents to the world?
