Serena has learned to live with her past, locking her secrets
and nightmares deep inside her. But when her boyfriend of six years
abruptly leaves her, she’s catapulted back into pain, nursing a broken
heart. When indulging in mountains of chocolate doesn’t work, Serena
decides the best way to deal with her shattered heart is to indulge in
something else. A rebound . . .
The night she swaps her usual Sprite for tequila, she meets James. The encounter is breathtaking.
Electrifying.
And best not repeated.
James is a successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. A man who has amassed a fortune by taking risks. A man who has shunned commitment completely, and still does. He’s the exact opposite of Serena. But sometimes opposites attract. Sometimes they give in to burning passion. Sometimes opposites are perfect for each other.
James is everything her damaged soul could want. His kisses are intoxicating, his touch out of this world. He makes her forget. He grants her peace from her pain. But as they grow closer, Serena discovers she isn’t the only one with a past. James carries the scars of a past much darker than hers. One that has left him damaged, hurt, and wary of love. A past that gives him the power to shatter her.
Now James and Serena must find a way to mend one another. Or risk losing each other forever.

Excerpt
My heart throbs against my ribcage as I put one palm on his chest and
then the other, not quite meeting his eyes, gazing at the top button of
his shirt instead. His heart drums under my fingers, with a
lightning-quick rhythm that matches my own. I bite my lip and close my
eyes. Somehow, I think I will find the courage I seek easier, if I let
the darkness behind my eyelids guide me, instead of the image of him. I
take a deep breath—his intoxicating ocean and musk scent filling me. The
skin on my fingers prickles, as I slide my fingers upward, touching the
warm skin on his neck. Now that my eyes are closed, all my other senses
are awake, ravaging me. I lean into him slowly, very slowly. I wish
he'd take mercy on me and take the lead, because kissing him seems to
require a different kind of courage.
I find his lips before I find the courage.
