Scarlett Hunter knows better than to believe in second chances. Especially with Evan Williams. He was her first crush, her biggest heartbreak, and the face attached to the night that nearly destroyed her. So when he reappears years later-hotter, sharper, and looking at her like she's the only woman in the room-Scarlett should run. Instead, she kisses him. Bad idea. Because Evan doesn't want the polished fantasy she sells under stage lights. He wants the real woman underneath--messy, furious, guarded, and still bleeding from old scars. And the more he tears down her defenses, the harder it gets to keep pretending this is just unfinished business. But Scarlett's past isn't dead. It's watching. Waiting. And when revenge games turn dangerous, she and Evan are forced into a brutal truth: desire is easy. Trust is war. Now Scarlett has to decide whether to keep punishing the ghosts who broke her... Or finally choose the man who never stopped coming back for her.

"The first rule of living together is that there is to be no more sex between us." Matt slapped a paper against the bare white wall, securing it with a piece of tape. "See it, memorize it, practice it." From my seat on one of the many cardboard boxes scattered around the apartment, I protested. "But what if-" "No," he said firmly. "No more sleeping together. I don't care how badly either one of us wants it. If this is going to work, then we need to get over the temptation, and we can't very well do that if you're crawling into my bed every night. Understood?" Sex. Living together but not technically dating. What could possibly go wrong when best friends Addison Miller and Matt Jones decide to room together even though they are both secretly hot for one another? Add in the temptation of Matt's cheating ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Adams, trying to win him back, and it's a recipe for disaster.

"It's your turn to pleasure me," she whispered breathily. "Um...how?" I asked, referring to the handcuffs that restrained me to the bedposts and the blindfold that concealed my vision. "I can't see...or move." But I quickly learned the answer when she sat upon my face. Ooh. That's how. In that case, yes, Ma'am. I dutifully obliged as any good submissive would, licking and teasing her sex with my tongue. She tasted almost sweet, and I found myself craving her even more. She moaned and sighed in pleasure, writhing atop me. And when her thighs began to tremble violently, I knew she had climaxed. *** "I can fix him."

Can Addison save him, or will Matt succumb to the demons of his past?

"Care to play?" I asked, dangling a pair of handcuffs from my finger. He arched a brow at me as I fastened one of the rings around his wrist and threaded the toy through a slat in his headboard. "Just say no, and we can stop all of this right now," I continued. But he didn't. Instead, he raked his gaze over my body with an unbridled hungry desire. He had never stared at me so fervently before, but it was everything I had yearned for and instantly made me wet for him. As I locked up his other hand, I pouted at him. "This is the punishment you get for making me want you," I purred. Then straddling his hips, I slid my hand inside my panties and began touching myself. "Mm, that feels so good," I sighed, stroking my fingers around. Glancing up, I found him intently watching me, an expression of dark arousal upon his face. He bit his lip, and I could feel his excitement growing beneath me as he writhed against his restraint. It was all the confirmation I needed that he was finally mine to do with exactly as I pleased. And I was never one to shy away from a steamy fun time.
