Just sex. How many times had I said those words? How many boys heard these words from me and smiled? How many boys heard these words from me and looked hurt? When had I ever lied saying them? ....................................................................................................... A story about a girl who just wants to be loved.

She stares up at him, obviously determined to hold her ground. Her dark eyes glint... dangerously? And yet, she makes no move to back away or tell him to move. Lucan leans over her, cocking his head to the side. "I didn't hear you the first time, Jelena." His voice isn't as balanced as it usually is, but he can't find it within himself to care. Jelena runs her fingers through her braids, trying to look everywhere except his face. "I don't see how that's my problem, Mr. Cacciatore." He angles his head to meet her eyes. "Well, the only reason you're still here is because you want me to hear it. Ho ragione, mia bella?" She gives him a look, but even he can see the desire plain and clear behind her gaze. "No." Lucan laughs, the baritone vibrating in his chest as he leans closer to her. His lips barely ghost over the edge of her ear when he whispers. "Please don't play games with me, Jelena Elias. I'd hate for you to lose." *** complete summary inside

During a New England snowstorm, spirited single mom Emerson Brown is stuck in the castle of elusive billionaire Liam Wyatt and she's less than happy to discover he sent for her under sneaky pretenses. The one-night stand they'd shared years earlier, full of spontaneous adventure and seductive passion, has stuck with Liam throughout the years. Thoughts of the vivacious redhead who'd captivated him provided light during the dark times of dealing with his brother's illness. And now, each trapped away from family and responsibility, those dormant desires spark to life and the two must decide if it's just another night together, or if they will take their second chance to turn the fairytale into reality.
