About this book

When Bella finally gets her fresh start—new city, new job, new determination to leave her past behind—the last thing she needs is the dangerously charming Ethan Noles tempting her back into old patterns. But resisting him proves impossible, and soon she's caught up in a game she never expected to play. As their chemistry ignites and boundaries blur, both Bella and Ethan discover that sometimes the person who seems like your biggest mistake becomes exactly what you needed all along. This is a steamy, addictive romance about two people learning that the best versions of themselves might just be found in each other.
