Love is as vital as air and as searing as fire.

Seth Kingston spent way too many years living with regrets. Returning to the scorching Las Vegas heat where anything goes, he's sure running into an old flame is no coincidence, but she wants no part of what he's offering. She's the one that got away, but he's determined not to let her go a second time.

When her ex-boyfriend, Seth, slides right back into her life, Penny Weldings does her best to keep him at arm's length. However, the years have turned him into someone she can't shake. His sea-blue eyes draw her in, causing her breath to seize with a desire she's never known. She can do without another broken heart, but the longer he's around, the more Penny wonders if real love can survive anything, even the burn of an unforgiving past.
