At sixteen, Kat Cavanaugh fled Persuasion, West Virginia, after discovering her father's affair, learning she was pregnant, a breakup, and being expelled from home and school—all in one afternoon. Two decades later, she has rebuilt her life: beautiful, affluent, and determined to hold those who wronged her accountable, starting with Riley Bohland, the boy who cut her heart. Riley, however, carries his own resentments and still possesses the allure she once loved. Their reunion stirs intense anger and a deep, fiery passion that threatens to unravel the hidden truths of their shared history. Facing the realities of her past, Kat must decide what she will accept and what future lies ahead, perhaps only in Riley's embrace.

In school, Kate Beaumont had been something of a shrinking violet, hardly noticed and seldom asked out. But she refused to shrink from attending her class reunion, even if she had to hire a date! With heartstoppingly handsome Garrett Richmond on her arm, she'd surely be the girl most likely to be envied--at least for one enchanted evening....
Touched by the sweet, shy scientist, Garrett saw no harm in playing paid escort for an evening--as long as Kate never discovered her mistake.... But the experiment in gallantry backfired, and Garrett knew he'd have to reveal his true identity-and his dangerous desire. For the shrinking violet had blossomed into the woman most likely to steal his heart.
