Juliette Montgomery is the vice president of one of Wall Street's most powerful companies. Sharp, untouchable, and unrelenting, she thrives on control- except when it comes to her darkest addiction. Sex is her escape, her drug of choice, filling the void she's too afraid to face. Every man, every woman, every fleeting high- it's never enough.

Until Owen Porter, a rising star in the comedy world, walks into her life. Charming, vulnerable, and maddeningly sweet, he becomes the one thing she can't quite conquer. Owen sees through her polished exterior, unearthing desires she didn't know she had- and emotions she swore she'd buried.

But love was never part of Juliette's plan, and Owen's devotion threatens to shatter her carefully constructed walls. Can she surrender to something real, or will she destroy them both in her quest to stay numb?

First book of a sequel.
