Memories come flooding back, and their connection is as potent as ever.

I should have fired Eliza Jenkins the night she overstepped her qualifications in a high-profile client meeting. Or the time she called me stuffy, uptight, and grumpy to my face. But it's her luscious mouth, her chocolate eyes, and her voluptuous curves that really drive me crazy. So I send her packing, pink slip in hand.

One night in a deserted airport terminal, and I knew I needed more. One kiss, and I was all in. Then she ghosted me, and I don’t know why.

Eventually our mutual attraction steamrolls her resistance, but when her deception catches up to her and what she's been hiding is exposed, nothing will ever be the same for either of us.

Three years ago, I left South Carolina and the woman I love without looking back. Okay, that's a lie. I've spent a fair amount of time imagining myself lounging under that Spanish moss with her.

Then I found out I had a kid I didn't know about, and just like that, everything changed.

With the King of Winter's vile threats hanging over me, I have two choices: Marry Prince Vale—or run and, most likely, die. Then again, perhaps I'll die anyway when the King of Winter learns I killed a vampire prince. I might even want to die if I started a war between the fae and the vampires, but I can't just turn away from the trouble I've created. Nor take away the honorable prince's dream to find his fated mate. So I accept Vale's protection under one condition: We form a marriage of convenience.

When escaping, one should make a plan. Someone should have told past-me that first.... I also need to fix a little issue or four if I ever escape.
