After all, her fiancé is definitely not what she thought he was. And to make matters worse, or maybe better, Holden Masters has always been the most tempting form of forbidden love. She can't deny he seems to know her-her needs-better than anyone. For Holden Masters, his haunted past collides with the present. His plans, which seemed so clear, are muddied at best. Can he finally say the words he couldn't all those years ago, finally backing up his words of affection with actions? Or is he really the player Cammie's long pegged him to be?
