It was only supposed to be one time, but they can’t get enough. Asshole. That’s the first thing I think of when I meet my neighbor, Tony. At least until his oddly chivalrous and honest sexuality has me panting in the hot New York City humidity. We’re fire and flame, our chemistry combustible. When he’s offered a job on the other side of the world I realize anything between us can only be a fling. My work is in New York and long-distance isn’t my thing. Two months is all I can give him. After one night with Sophie I know she’s the one. When my boss offers me a top position in Rome, I should be focused on my job, not imagining the next time I can pin down my sexy new neighbor. She’s all I think about. Sophie wants us to keep things casual then go our separate ways before I move. No hurt feelings. No misunderstandings. But I know she’s meant to be mine and I’m willing to play for keeps.

They’re a couple of control freaks, but they can’t control each other. Adele For years I was forced to live a life I hated, but I broke free, and now own a small real estate business. One that's deep in the red. In walks the robotic and rich Mr. Petrov in need of an agent. He's an answer to my problems, but also a mystery I need to uncover. Even his epic assholery can't dissuade my curiosity. Michael proves he's no robot. He's so genuine I can't help but fall. As a shadow from my past threatens him and my sister, it's my responsibility to protect them. I take care of my own problems, and when Michael wants to step in, I make one thing white knights need not apply. Michael I'm ambitious, I'm successful, and I know what I want. I'm also frustratingly unsettled, searching for something I can never find. A place where I can be myself. Where I'll feel at home. My sexy new real estate agent knows what I need before I can say a word. She sees through me. Adele makes me want to give up control, but trust is a word I've forgotten. How can I give myself over to her when she doesn't tell me anything about her past? How can I trust her? I guess it's a good thing she doesn't take no for an answer.
