She swore she'd never let him close again...

He was the boy who felt like home. And the man who shattered her heart.

Growing up as a foster kid, Alexandra Franco found the one thing she craved in the West house... family. But falling for her best friend's older brother wrecked her.

One stolen night she gave him her innocence, and Deacon West broke her completely when he walked away and put a ring on someone else's finger.

Years later, Alex has rebuilt her life with grit and grease-stained hands, running a classic car restoration garage with his sisters. The walls she's welded around her heart are ironclad. Until Deacon returns home, divorced, dangerous and determined to win her back.

Alex was his biggest regret, and Deacon will stop at nothing to make her his again. Even blackmail. Three months in his bed, and the garage she calls home is hers.

She vowed never to forgive him. But some flames never die... and this one might consume them both.
