Most people dream of falling in love. But all I know of love is that it turns smart people into fools. So, I don't dream, I work. And put distance between myself and the stain of my father's betrayal. When I land a high powered job in London, it feels like I finally have everything I want. Then comes Simon, the gorgeous architect with a filthy mouth who sets my body and my mind on fire. I surrender to the pull of attraction and the promise of pleasure. But those smoldering dark eyes are also full of secrets. Playing with that kind of fire is a fool's game. And I am no fool. So, when our night together ends on less than happy terms, I'm sure it's for the best. Even when a work project brings us back together, I'm determined to keep Simon where he belongs—in my rearview. Fate, however, has a different plan. Simon breaks down my walls one sexy, wicked smile at a time. And I discover that behind his brooding, secretive facade, lies a heart of pure gold. Soon, all I do is dream of his touch, his kisses, and of a love good enough and strong enough to last forever. But I've got secrets of my own. And when they rear their heads, nothing will be the same again. Contains mature themes.
