Scott Bradford was a stickler for the rules, and he had two in which he abided by most: 1) Never get involved with an employee. 2) Never let your emotions run you. He stayed that course, working hard and playing even harder, until Abbey Lawson waltzed into his company and his life. She changed everything, including the things he was determined to keep locked away, especially his heart. Abbey Lawson: thirty-seven, divorced, and brokenhearted. After accepting that she was alone in life, she decided she was going to live life on her own terms - free, wild, and open to adventure. But she had never expected all those things to walk right into her life in the form of her sexy, arrogant boss, Scott Bradford. Their chemistry was instantaneous and their want for each couldn't be denied. But Abbey's heart wanted more than a casual fling and was threatening to destroy everything Scott had carefully planned for them. He didn't do relationships, but his heart was begging him to give this one a shot. However, deceit and lies from Scott's past threatened to end the one thing they both realized they couldn't live without.
