When a scarred and reclusive billionaire hiding from his past meets the nerdy CEO of a hot beauty brand with a very public life, can their relationship make the transition from secret passion to happy ever after?

A Romantic Times Top Pick Romance

Phlox Miller was never the pretty girl and no magic mascara or secret serum was ever going to change that—not even one manufactured by her own company. When she retreats to her country home to recover from an accident and regain her mojo, she encounters the prickly—and very private—caretaker her assistant hired.

The harder she tries to befriend him, the harder he tries to avoid her. Just when she thinks they're finally making progress—as friends and more—the life he's been hiding bursts into the open and reveals who he really is. Can they salvage their love when her very public life is everything he needs to avoid?

A standalone romance with a scarred—but sexy AF—hero and a beautiful, nerdy heroine with hidden scars of her own. No cliffhanger. Seriously steamy.
