She's the one woman he can't forget. He's the mistake she's determined not to repeat. When Charlotte Ramirez walks away from a one-night stand with Noah Zhang, she never expects to see him again. But avoiding the heir to the most powerful Triad in the United States proves easier said than done. As a ruthless businessman, infamous playboy, and future mob boss, Noah is used to getting everything he wants. Unfortunately for him, the only thing he wants is Charlotte-the sharp-tongued socialite who refuses to give him a second chance. Charlotte has spent years perfecting her rules: never get attached, never be vulnerable, and never fall in love. Noah already convinced her to break those rules once. She has no intention of letting it happen again. But when circumstances force them back into each other's orbit, old chemistry quickly reignites. And with enemies closing in and dangerous family expectations threatening to tear them apart, resisting Noah becomes harder than ever. Will Charlotte risk her heart for a man she knows she shouldn't trust? Or will their second chance end before it ever truly begins?
