Let Sleeping Dogs Lie (Love Down Under #2)
Cynthia Terelst
She’s playing for millions. He’s playing for her.
Tara
Losing my brother, Zac broke something inside me. Love, trust, hope—they all vanished. But when a mysterious invitation lands in my inbox promising a $6 million prize in a high-stakes scavenger hunt, I can’t resist. The money could fund the foundation I'm building in Zac’s name.
What I didn’t expect? That my assigned partner would be Shepherd Bell—the man I once loved and walked away from without a word. I swore I’d never look back. Now I’m stuck with him for twenty days. And the longer we’re together, the harder it is to keep my guard up… or remember why I left.
Shepherd
Five years ago, Tara disappeared. No warning. No explanation. Just gone. I tried to move on, but nothing compares to what we had. So I created the scavenger hunt—because if she won’t talk to me, maybe she’ll play the game… and if she plays the game, she’ll have no choice but to face me.
Seeing her again hits harder than I ever imagined. I still want her. I still love her. This was meant to be our second chance. But when the truth behind the game comes out and that there is no prize money, I might lose her all over again—for good.
