The secret that everyone knows. The tragedy that pulls them apart. The shocking past that catches up and takes it all…except the most important thing.

Sure, my divorce just finalized. But the moment I see Maverick, I know I’m in trouble. Sloane, my sister, says that I’m using him like a piece of meat. Truth is, we’re both using each other. He’s a rancher. I’m a stockbroker. We’re both richer than a pound of Bavarian chocolate, but we’re worlds different. Until something unites us unlike anything else. No money, no fame, nothing could match it. Problem is, I can’t tell him how I feel. And then it happens…and we lose it all. Or do we?

Ellie’s a piece of work. Here I think I’m being a gentleman, helping her move out of her marital home, into another mansion. But then there’s an accident and I see a side of her that I didn’t know existed. She puts my gallantry to shame when she steps up. This successful woman is more than meets the eye, and as much as we’re just fooling around, there’s something more to her than that. But neither of us are ready for it, and then I’m blindsided, by the two things that I never thought I’d have and didn’t know I wanted.

…until it’s gone and we’re left picking up the pieces…and Ellie’s staring down the barrel of a gun.
