Rayne Montgomery has a past and it's one she would rather leave behind. Moving to a new city and starting over, she finds the new start she needs so badly. Becoming a self-defense instructor, she vows to never again be a victim, and now teaches others to protect themselves. That it is until, she meets sexy as sin Brian Reynolds, an attorney in her new city. Even though she wants to push him out of her fresh start, it seems to be easier said than done. Rayne isn't ready for another commitment, but that doesn't mean she will turn down mind melting casual sex with the steamy attorney. But can she get away from her past long enough to secure a future, or will her past collide into her new life making it all more complicated? No matter their choices, Rayne and Brian, have to admit to themselves that the attraction between them is completely fierce.
