When you sell your soul to the entertainment industry, buying back your freedom often comes with a high price. Altered permanently by my first forbidden love affair, I channeled my heartache and became a foreign liaison for the most scandalous, risk-taking record label in town, where I learned to be a cutthroat, hardened businesswoman in the process. My whole life changed in a heartbeat when my newest contract brought me face-to-face with the sexy, unforgettable ghosts of my past. Kim Seo-Jun, former lead singer of STARBOYZ, was a devilishly handsome rogue desired by women everywhere. He was also the man who’d raised the child I’d abandoned against my will. And we weren’t exactly on speaking terms these days. If hating me kept him safe, that was a burden I’d bear. But he wants to make me pay, and the games he’s playing with my heart are dangerous in more ways than one. When he wasn't glaring daggers of ice in my direction or cutting me with his words, his whispered reminiscing, barely-there touches, and protective attitude all had me falling back into his bed, just like I swore I wouldn’t do. Then the label who cut him loose turns up on my doorstep, demanding he come back–or else. I was well-versed in their methods of persuasion, but I made the mistake of letting them win once before. Now, there was more than one heart at stake. Sometimes, the mistakes we make follow us for a lifetime. But this time, I’m not running from mine.
