About this book

When Scarlett spots the man who once devastated her walking onto her airplane, she can't believe her second chance at payback has literally landed in her lap—even if he looks impossibly good doing it. Years have passed since Dante burned through her dreams and left her a shell of herself, but now she's older, wiser, and ready to turn the tables on the man who broke her heart. What starts as a calculated game of seduction becomes dangerously complicated when old chemistry reignites and she realizes revenge might cost her more than she bargained for. This is a scorching, emotionally intense romance about what happens when two people who once destroyed each other dare to play with fire again.
