From New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter comes another scorching Original Heartbreakers tale featuring an aloof bad guy and the rowdy Southern belle who rocks his world. Millionaire video-game originator Lincoln West has a dark and tragic past. The sought-after bachelor lives with a rigid routine and an individual rule-one relationship each year, lasting no more than two months. No exceptions. When he quit the big town for a little city, he hoped to flee the most severe of his memories-until a brash beauty dredges up long-buried feelings. A reformed party lady, Jessie Kay Dillon is set to walk the right and slim. But her love-hate sizzle with Western is simply too irresistible. They can’t become near one another without tearing off their clothes, but the last thing she requirements is usually to be his following two-month dump. Can she become the one exemption? Because mainly because any former girl-gone-wild knows: rules are made to end up being broken. ‘Psychological, heart-tugging, held me turning the web pages!’ -Carly Phillips, NY Instances Bestselling Author
