Two weeks. No strings.With Adam Callaway I thought I’d found the perfect fling. He was great in bed and only in town for a few hot nights.There was no way I could have known Adam wouldn’t be satisfied with just sex. My craving for his body made me careless. I broke my rules. I let him in. I never thought two weeks could change everything. All I wanted was an escape, what I got was so much more.Something I couldn’t live without once I had it.

One heartbeat. That’s all that separates us from the life we’ve known and everything that could change it. One kiss. Was all it took to change mine. Theo was rich and handsome, brilliant and powerful, but he wasn’t a hero or a prince charming. And let’s be honest, I wasn’t exactly a damsel in distress. I wanted Theo, so I took him. Hard and passionately without any regard for the consequences. At first it was just sex. Wild sex. Fantastic sex. But once wasn’t enough and I got greedy. In all fairness, so did he. One thing led to another and before either of us knew what was happening our lives were tangled up and messy. Inextricably linked. I’d fallen in love with a stranger. And that was the problem. Theo Sutherland was a man with a dark past and a price on his head. My life was at stake just for being with him. One kiss was all it took to make me believe in love. One heartbeat was all it took to turn him into the hero he never thought he’d be.

One night. No consequences. I should have known it wouldn’t be that simple. I was too connected to Michael Sutherland. Of course I would see him again. But I didn’t expect to see him so soon, or for him to seem so interested. He’s persistent. Kind. Romantic. I fooled myself into believing a few more nights wouldn’t hurt. I liked his command in the bedroom and enjoyed the results. It wasn’t more. Except that he was more. Better than anyone I’d ever met before. Someone I wasn’t sure I could live without.
