📚 Book 2 of a completed 4-book series
When Isabella's scandalous ex-husband Mac suddenly reappears after years apart, their explosive chemistry reignites faster than either of them expects—especially when he convinces her to pose for his paintings and she finds herself powerless against his seductive charm. But as they begin rekindling their passionate connection, a dangerous forger emerges, threatening not just Mac's artwork but Isabella herself, forcing the brooding artist into an unlikely role as devoted protector. With enemies closing in and their desire burning hotter than ever, Mac and Isabella must navigate the fine line between independence and surrender, discovering whether their scandals were a beginning or an ending. This is a delicious second-chance romance that proves some flames never truly go out—they just need the right spark to reignite.
