Erik Fielding is successful in every way, except in his quest to find a wife. When a former lover reappears in his life, the temptation to indulge in a red-hot reunion is more than he can resist. But falling for her may cost a part of himself he hadn't counted on--his heart.
Layla Krause has a promise to keep to her recently deceased mother--meet the half-sister she didn't know she had. Crossing paths with the man she'd helped through his grief in college offers an unexpected perk to spending a month getting to know her newfound sibling. The outlet he provides is balm to her body and soul.
Long dormant sparks between Erik and Layla become a raging fire, but the secrets she hides could do more damage than the flames from their attraction. He'll have to sweeten the deal to get her out of a self-imposed jam.
