Sometimes you have to play dirty. So they say.

Rachel

Playing dirty takes on a new meaning when I fall in the mud in front of way too hot Remy Martin and catch him staring at me. Hard.

No matter how hot his kisses are, I don't need a man. Much less a hotshot firefighter to rescue me. But Remy's got that whole tall, dark & protective thing going strong.

So strong, I can't resist.

I've got a messy past. The last thing I need is to fall for someone. Certainly not Remy who makes me want to break every rule I wrote for myself.

I never thought a man who calls me sweetheart might be enough to hold my heart hostage. But then, I wasn't prepared for Remy.

Remy

Rachel Garrett is strong, smart & feisty. She's also got a stay-away-from-me vibe for the ages.

I've got more than enough reasons to avoid romance, but I never could resist a challenge. Rachel doesn't need me. Or so I think.

The closer I get, the more I want her. The second I see past the surface to the vulnerability underneath, well, that's it. I don't care if Rachel doesn't need me. I need her.

*This is a full-length, standalone romance with a guaranteed HEA.
