After years of playing the trophy, puppet, perfectionist,

I've forgotten who I am.

A heartbreaking loss makes me desperate to remember.

And like an oasis in the middle of the dry harshness my reality,

Stone Rivers walks back into my life.

Twenty years later, he's built like a god, handsome as sin, and charming beyond belief.

He wants us to pick up where we left off.

I know it's a very bad idea...

But our combustible chemistry shatters my resolve.

His blistering kisses taste like destiny.

And in his eyes, I see the woman I might have been

if I'd been allowed to choose love over duty.

I'm certain that in a different life, our love would have outshone the sun itself.

Until a well timed reality check reminds me that, in this life,

we're a scandal in the making.

Stone won't let me have the final say on us.

He wants a chance to make it right.

To make us right.

But the path to doing that is littered with obstacles.

Not only is he my younger brother's best friend,

I am a another man's wife.

When what happened in Mexico finds its way back to Rivers Wilde, the consequences are catastrophic.

And the battle to hold on to the man I love, could cost me everything else.
