After living a life of betrayal and abuse, London Sykes is on her own. She’s ready to start over, leaving the past behind. But when her car skids off the road, London is rescued by a sad, mysterious, and sexy man–a man who changes everything for her. Kadin Cole is done. At a cabin in the woods for his very first–and last time–Kadin refuses to return to a life he cannot endure. With grief that suffocates him, he makes the hardest decision of his life. But when a beautiful woman crashes into his life, Kadin is torn between his grief and his hope for a new beginning. Now, it’s up to Kadin and London to find warmth in the coldest time of their lives. Can their passion thaw their hearts and give them a chance at something more?

Thirty-three, single, and loving life. Construction worker by day and playboy by night. Kegan Cole has what many men can only dream about. A great job, incredible family, and more women fawning over him than he can count. What more could he ask for? Lexi Carter spends her days teaching at a private school. Struggling to rebuild her life after tragedy nearly destroyed her, she doesn’t have the time or energy to invest in any arrangement that could lead to heartbreak. That includes the enigmatic Kegan Cole whose arrogance and sex appeal arrive long before he enters a room. It doesn’t matter how witty, charming, and incredibly sexy he is. She plays games all day with her students and has no room in her life for games when it comes to men, and Kegan Cole has ‘love them and leave them’ written all over his handsome bearded face. When Lexi doesn’t fall at his feet like every other woman before her, Kegan is forced off-script to pursue her because not convincing her to give in isn’t an option. How can a man who hates lies be compatible with a woman who has more secrets than she can count? Can a man set in his playboy ways become the man Lexi needs? More importantly, does he even want to?
