Kain Erikson tried and failed at marriage. Within a matter of moments, everything he'd earned in his life seemed lost. Withdrawing to mindless flings and booze-filled nights, the only real spark in his life came from owning Haze, a club that was getting hotter than the minute. Life seemed fine, lonely, but easy.  He never expected to meet another girl that made him look twice. Then a cute little bookworm named Skylar Gray dropped into his life.

Skylar never expected to live a fairytale. She'd worked hard to put herself through school and make her name known in the publishing business. Her life was simple, her friends were great and everything was going according to plan... Until she got drunk and found herself being harassed by a couple of men. Saved by a man with beautiful eyes and a complicated past, Skylar struggled to ignore her feelings for him. After all, bad boys weren't her type. But even as she fought to stay professional, Kain's sweet words and soft-touch awakened parts of her that had been dormant for ages. 

Can Kain get over his past and forge a future with his bookworm? Will Skylar let herself experience something new and dangerous? Or will they both run away and stick to what they know?
