Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone novel. Keane’s college sweetheart, Lilly, is the only woman he’s ever loved—too bad he was far too young and stupid to realize it, and ended things between them in the worst possible way. He’s spent the last seven years trying to become a better man—someone Lilly can hopefully learn to trust and fall in love with once more. But when he goes stumbling back into her life in the middle of the night, professing his undying love, he’s off to a damn rocky start. Lilly's never really gotten over Keane, even if she’s moved on. The only use she now has for him is as her inspiration for the steamy romances she secretly pens under a different name. When Keane comes crashing back into her life, it's the last thing she expects—but she has bigger worries than a lying, cheating ex, when she has a stalker fan who wants his own leading role, and has managed to track her down. Keane’s offering her his protection, and feeling cornered, she takes it. Stuck living with him for the foreseeable future, it's hard to deny the chemistry that still exists between them, and he soon has her wondering if he has indeed changed from the guy who broke her heart. But with a stalker hunting her and love on the line, can she really keep herself—and her heart—safe? *** This novel contains a Happily Ever After ending. Although part of a series, this book can be read as a stand alone novel. Due to the adult language and explicit sex scenes, this book is for adults only.***
