Most people dream of falling in love. But all I know of love is that it turns smart people into fools. So, I don't dream, I work. And put distance between myself and the stain of my father's betrayal.

When I land a high powered job in London, it feels like I finally have everything I want. Then comes Simon, the gorgeous architect with a filthy mouth who sets my body and my mind on fire. I surrender to the pull of attraction and the promise of pleasure. But those smoldering dark eyes are also full of secrets.

Playing with that kind of fire is a fool's game. And I am no fool. So, when our night together ends on less than happy terms, I'm sure it's for the best.

Even when a work project brings us back together, I'm determined to keep Simon where he belongs—in my rearview. Fate, however, has a different plan.

Simon breaks down my walls one sexy, wicked smile at a time. And I discover that behind his brooding, secretive facade, lies a heart of pure gold. Soon, all I do is dream of his touch, his kisses, and of a love good enough and strong enough to last forever.

But I've got secrets of my own. And when they rear their heads, nothing will be the same again.
