Ava Hall has so many problems in her life: a creative rut she doesn't get to heal from, a looming deadline for her debut novel, and her father's second engagement that she can't stand. As if these problems aren't enough, she has to deal with a broken heart over a summer fling she was sure was only a one-time thing, and she didn't have any feelings involved―until they got in the way, and now she can't stop thinking about Tristan Easmon. Creative, charming, and cocky, Tristan lives his life to the fullest, like it's the last. A competitive CEO and a challenger, his only focus will be taking his company back to the top, but he has other motives he doesn't tell anyone. With a plan to destroy his estranged father's life, he is back in NYC as well as in Ava's life. Though it's coincidental, he doesn't want to let her go now that he has found her again. But Ava isn't ready to give him the control over her to ruin her once again, and Tristan needs to prove his sincerity if he truly wants to get closer to her.
