A secret heir meets a woman with a sexy bucket list. So much passion ensues in USA TODAY bestselling author Cara Lockwood’s latest sizzling DARE novel! Years ago, Liam Lange walked away from his family’s fortune and lived like a recluse. But everything changed after a wild night with a stranger. Was it the bed-breaking desire, the fact that they’d just met…or was it the woman herself? Cecily Nichols walked into the bar like a storm and swept him into a mind-numbing night of physical release and intimacy he’d never experienced. He didn’t ever want her to leave. And by the time she did, he started to figure out her secret and why she was determined to live life to its fullest. Diagnosed with one year left to live, Cecily cut right to the root of her desire—to rejoice in Liam wholeheartedly. And leave before things got too tragic. But their wild chemistry defied logic and no matter where they were—wrinkling satin sheets or kissing on top of the Empire State Building—their bond strengthened. Do they weather the good and the bad together…or cut off their deepening love to protect each other? Take control. Feel the rush.
