The moment Grace Foster locks eyes with the brutally beautiful underground fighter, she knows her life is never going to be the same. There is something about North Whitlock that makes her temperature rise dramatically, her scruples vanishing into thin air. They are drawn together like magnets, despite their obvious differences. Grace attends a wealthy prep school while North must fight to survive. They don’t make sense as a couple—and her father would never, ever approve of the dangerous brawler. Trying to stop North from seeing his Gracie, though? Not a chance. Staying away from each other when every touch sets them aflame is an impossible feat…but will they survive the explosive consequences?

Husband and wife, North and Grace, share a love that can never be torn apart. But it's put to the ultimate test when old ghosts return from the past to haunt them. Five years ago, Grace put a dangerous man behind bars. Now the Boston gangster is out on parole and threatening her life. Unless North does a job for him, that is—one that Grace doesn't approve of, sending her packing without any clue that her husband is protecting her life. And when she finds out how deep North's devotion truly runs, will it be too late?
