He’s very good at being bad...Outwardly, Noah Carter is riding high as Stark International's newest tech genius. Inside, he’s still reeling from the death of his wife and daughter. For years, he's thrown himself into his work, cutting himself off from emotional ties because they hurt too damn much. But when an old girlfriend walks back into his life, Noah realizes three things: That it’s time to heal. That Kiki is the woman he wants. And that he'll do whatever it takes to convince her. Aspiring singer Kiki Porter remembers Noah only too well. He's the man who ripped her heart into tiny shreds and then stomped on it. She'd believed he was the love of her life, but then he left, and his departure left her confused and reeling. Now he's back, and pursuing her with a sensual relentlessness that leaves her breathless. She wants him, she does. But even though she melts in his arms, how can she trust that this time he’ll stay? Especially when long buried secrets threaten their hope for a future together
