Wealthy playboy and occasional wine expert Sebastian Holt has almost everything he could want out of life: more money than he knows how to spend, a great career he doesn't have to do much to keep, and gorgeous naked strangers in his bed every night of the week. Most of Sedona thinks Sebastian has it all, and until recently he's always been inclined to agree, even if it means ignoring the strange emptiness that engulfs him whenever he's alone. 
Jaelyn Valdiri's life, on the other hand, could not be more of a stark contrast. Fresh out of graduate school, Jaelyn is now a journalist with a local newspaper that pays peanuts next to her student loan debt. With her life as trashed as the inside of her car, Jaelyn is trying to just keep her nose to the ground and work hard while she applies for positions in New York.
When Jaelyn is sent to Sebastian's vineyard to do an anniversary interview for the winery, neither one of them is prepared for the immediate attraction that follows. Within a few days, Jaelyn finds herself tangled in Sebastian's sheets, promising herself one time won't kill her. Though they agree to keep it casual, neither can deny the passion between them is anything but. 
Soon, Jaelyn and Sebastian both find themselves confronted with difficult decisions that threaten to cut their affair short. Amid his father's unremitting requests for Sebastian to take a wife, his ex-fiancé arrives back into town desperate to explain herself. Simultaneously, Jaelyn receives an offer for a position in New York that will advance both her salary and resume, at the expense of her mysterious lover. 
Both burned by love in the past, Jaelyn and Sebastian have every reason in the world not to trust relationships or romance. Yet neither one of them can deny the connection they feel every time they touch. Will they give love a second chance, or will they both commit to a life of material pleasures?

The sight sent another pulse of heat through me, twisting that forbidden excitement even tighter around my core. "Do you like seeing that?" he asked, his voice low, taunting. "Do you like marking me while my wife waits at home?" I shivered at the raw edge in his tone, my hips pressing harder against him, wordlessly begging for more. "Yes," I whispered, my voice barely a breath. "I love it." _______ On the eve of her wedding, Esmeralda's life was torn apart by her best friend's ultimate betrayal. Two years later, with a broken heart still simmering beneath the surface, she set her sights on her revenge: seducing her ex-friend's husband, Sebastian.
