Cassian is exactly the kind of charming playboy I hate. Smooth talker. Game player. Heartbreaker. I've been burned by his kind in the past. But he takes it to the next level with his sultry gaze and hard, powerful build. He's got an Achilles' heel though: there's a dark secret from his past, threatening to destroy his empire. And he comes to for help. But he's not getting me for free. Cassian's going to teach me his tricks of seduction. Once I've cracked his code, I'll beat the bad boys at their own game. Except with a single, sizzling kiss, Cassian tears down all my defenses. And suddenly I'm in over my head and falling fast. Victoria's ice-princess act doesn't fool me. Inside that beautiful, frosty facade, I know I'll find a woman made of pure fire. But no matter how much she tries to maintain her distance, I need her. She's going to help me keep the secrets of my past where they belong--buried deep. Victoria agrees to help I give her a crash course in seduction. Little Miss Uptight wants to learn how a bad boy operates? She's about to get a lesson she'll never forget. As I unwrap more of the real Victoria though, I'm realizing I want to do more than teach her--I want her for my own. Forever.
