Even one-night stands deserve a second chance in New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dykenโs novel of sporting desire.
What else can a virgin do when sheโs ditched at the altar? Seattle heiress Mackenzie Dupont is treating herself to a single-girl honeymoon in Mexico and a desire to relinquish her innocence to a gorgeous one-night stand. Fake names. True pleasure. But when she wakes up alone, Mackenzie realizes just how much anger is left in her broken heart.
Suffering a tragic personal loss, pro soccer player Slade Rodriguez has his reasons for vanishing without a goodbye. Right or wrong, heโs blaming the beautiful and infuriating stranger he never wants to see again. Theyโre both in for a shock when Mackenzie shows up as his new personal assistant. And they both have a lot to learn about each other. Because they share more than they could possibly know, including a common enemy whoโs playing his own games. And heโs not afraid to get dirty.
Now thereโs only one way Mackenzie and Slade can win: to trust in each other and to stop hiding from the lies theyโve told, the secrets theyโve kept, the mistakes theyโve made, and the attraction that still burns between them.
