But he fears Protecting her Heart might come at the cost of breaking his own..
As the danger draws ever closer, John vows to do everything in his power to protect Charlotte from harm.
Investigating the details of a death was not how Charlotte imagined she would find love, but as she and John work to unravel a dark web of secrets and lies, she finds herself relying on him more and more--and opening her Heart to him in the process.
Though he has not yet found the courage to share his feelings with the young doctor, he is eager to help her in her hour of need.
Tucked into his Heart are thoughts of her sharp mind, quick wit, and remarkable beauty.
John Ellis has harbored feelings for Charlotte ever since he first met her.
She turns to the one man she trusts more than anyone--her treasured friend and director of London\'s police force, John Ellis.
