She wants what he has. He just wants her.

Mara Roberts is strong and fiercely independent, thank you very much. She’s worked hard to create a life she can feel safe in, constructing walls so high around her heart it’s nearly impossible for anyone to see her vulnerability.

The one thing she loves most in the world is her bartending job at Larkspur, the hottest nightclub in Denver. She’s far too busy (and guarded) to lead much of a romantic life, aside from a few casual situationships with pretty girls she meets at the bar.

So when Mara has an earth-shattering night with the mysterious Leo in his sexy penthouse, she resolves to keep the encounter at just that—a one-night stand—despite the obvious blazing chemistry between them. She figures she can slip away the next morning and never see him again, never having to risk her heart.

As it turns out, however, she won’t escape him that easily. When Leo is in need of a fake-girlfriend and begs for her help, he makes her an offer she simply can’t refuse—because he has exactly what she wants.

As things heat up and lines are blurred, Mara is worried that she won’t be able to break free from any of it unscathed in the end. Just how far will she let things go to get what she wants?.
