Ashleigh Thomas might have just penned the most dramatic plot twist of her life. By uprooting her world and returning to Dallas for family ties, she finds herself entangled with Alex McDermott, the one man she could never resist—like a romance novelist to a steamy plot. Secretly crafting erotic tales by night, she soon finds herself in his arms and his bed, hoping he'll bring her fictional fantasies to life.

Meanwhile, Alex has spent a decade trying to dodge the irresistible Ashleigh, but her homecoming has him questioning his willpower. He's got a secret of his own, one that could send Ashleigh packing—a prospect he's not keen on.

As their chemistry explodes into a fiery inferno, can they finally stop hiding and start living the romance they've both been writing in their heads?
