Some secrets never stay buried...

Victoria Chase

It started in the English countryside when he stopped to see if I was having car trouble.

It should have ended there.

But it turned into three of the most intense days of my life. And guess what? It didn't end there either.

His name is Xavier Maddox. Sexy, talented, untamed. A British soccer star. The enticing bad boy. He should be off limits for me. I have this policy about getting involved with professional athletes...or as I call them, the product.

Xavier was only supposed to be a one night stand. A distraction for me while I dealt with a long ignored family situation.

Fate had other plans...

Pulling off the road to help a stranded motorist should have been simple. But nothing is simple when it comes to this fiery American redhead.

Victoria Chase has me questioning the parts of myself I buried years ago. She's the gasoline to a fire I once needed to extinguish. Those flames have roared back to life.

Now I'm desperate to unlock her deepest secrets.

Trouble is, those secrets connect us both to one fateful summer. I'll do anything to protect her. She's my light and I'll stop at nothing to make her see that.

Even if it means letting her go...
