As summer begins, newly divorced Kristen Tilden is trying hard to be civil to her ex-husband–as well as the rich society blonde who stole him, Victoria Stafford. But when she meets Victoria's sexy twenty-two-year-old son Dylan at a cocktail party, sparks fly that are soon blazing into an inferno of lust, deception and scandal.

Kristen just wants one torrid summer of passion and privacy with her young lover. But Dylan wants her for good - and is intent on proving that he can be the man of her dreams, despite the ten years between them. When his mother and her ex-husband discover the affair, all hell breaks loose. Soon Kristin finds herself forced to choose between her professional reputation and her forbidden love ... and in the process, discovers that Dylan may not be quite the man she originally thought.
