Lilah Hunter doesn't blur lines. As a sharp-tongued corporate lawyer with a ruthless work ethic and a closet full of control, she's has learnt to build her entire life on boundaries, no one gets inside her armor.

With just a glance, he can unravel the cool, confident woman she's worked so hard to become. He drives her insane... yet she can't seem to escape the way he makes her feel. . . . Then punish me, Lilah," he whispered, low, deliberate, sinful. My name rolled off his tongue like it was made for my lips alone. Heat pooled deep inside me. My mind teetered on the edge of surrender. A dangerous idea struck. I tilted my head, eyes locked on his, and let my fingers drift over his forearm- the one resting on my thigh. Featherlight, I traced up to his bicep, over the curve of his neck, and finally let the back of my hand brush his cheek. My thumb traced over his bottom lip in a slow, deliberate caress. His gaze followed, wide, hungry, submitting under my touch. "Do I plan on punishing you, Grey?" I murmured, letting my voice drip with false innocence. I bit my lower lip, slow enough for him to notice, and held his eyes while I did it. He seized my wrist with his free hand, fingers strong and possessive. His eyes flicked to my mouth, back to my eyes, then back down again. Every lean forward, every shift of his body screamed that he wanted more. Needed more.

She can't remember. They won't let her forget. When the same night keeps repeating, she must uncover the truth to escape the loop.

Lavender Sullivan is a relationship columnist with one tiny problem-she's romantically cursed (metaphorically). After a viral article turns her love life into a public disaster, her childhood best friend, Wes, comes up with a brilliant (read: completely insane) idea. Ten dates. Ten exes. One last shot at proving she's not a walking red flag. What could possibly go wrong? (Spoiler: Everything). Between awkward reunions, social media chaos, and a growing tension with the one person she swore she'd never fall for, Lavender's about to learn that love is less like a fairytale... and more like a very public, slow-motion car crash.
