She only wanted one night. He was supposed to be a beautiful stranger she’d never see again. But fate has other plans. Three years ago, Emmaline Facer made a bold choice. She slept with the first man who made her heart race — and disappeared the next morning, leaving with stolen money, a stolen car, and leaving behind a man who never stopped looking for her. Now?

Now, forced to work together, old sparks ignite, buried secrets rise, and a dangerous game begins — where love battles betrayal, and past mistakes threaten everything. And a little girl who isn’t who everyone thinks she is.
