She's got it all, money, looks, brains and sex appeal.

She's hidden it well, until now. One night with a sexy Italian player, and all of her carefully constructed walls begin to crumble.
Carter de Rossi doesn't do relationships.

Will they be able to forge something real together, or will their primal, undeniable attraction to each other be the very thing that rips them apart? Addi is a master of self-sabotage.
