A chance meeting. An improbable connection. An exquisite
attraction.
Trent Hettinger's turbulent formative years transformed him
into a cynic—and into a man who realized he required
something outside himself to control his temper. Something
he found as a Dom—at least for a while. But he allowed
himself to trust a woman once and was slapped back into
reality with a vengeance and now devotes all his energy into
building his real estate empire, raising his teenaged
daughter…and avoiding anything resembling authentic attachments.
Melody Rodriguez kept her head down for years—working hard,
making her own money, trying to get ahead with every deck
stacked against her. She's determined to move beyond the
ugliness that haunts her without anyone's help. When a
mutual friend sets her up with Trent, she's determined to
have some fun with him and move on.
A man with nothing left to lose. A woman hiding behind her
past. When two lives spent in emotional denial collide, it's
a perfect match—at least on the surface. But neither Trent
nor Melody is prepared for the full force of their true
feelings, once fate intervenes and blows a cold breeze into
their white-hot relationship.
