Publisher Description

A troubled playboy meets the woman he can't resist in this sizzling classic from New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter, previously published as The Hotter You Burn!

Beck Ockley is ruthless in the boardroom…and the bedroom. He's never been with the same woman twice and vows he never will. With a past as troubled as his, meaningless sex keeps the demons at bay and his own wary heart intact.

Harlow Glass is currently penniless, jobless and homeless. When the beautiful artist sneaks into Beck's home, her ancestral estate, she's shocked by his early return…and her immediate, sizzling and intense attraction to him.

For the first time in Beck's life, he can't get a woman out of his mind. All too soon, friendship blooms into something more and he'll either have to break her heart…or surrender his own.
