Scorched

I promised myself I would never fall in love again,

until a winter storm changed my life forever.




I was content to live my life alone, damaged after my husband had left me for another woman; taking with him half of my children's lives, and my will to love again.

But the blizzard left a dying stranger outside my back door, and against reason I did everything I could to save him. His name was Matteo Rhodes, and he was a dangerously attractive, tattoo-covered rocker suffering from painful withdrawals; abandoned by his friends during the worst storm my tiny mountain town had seen in fifty years.

Temptation never looked so good; and I struggled against my desires to help him through his ordeal, but in the end, I lost my heart, and eventually lost Matteo, to the call of the road.

I thought I was ready to move on, but a chance message beckoned me to the Hollywood Hills; and to Matteo's home and his bed.

When his scheming ex-girlfriend; a beautiful model with anger issues known as Jenny Corsica decides she isn't ready to let Matteo go, how can I survive her fiery temper and dangerous obsession?

What happens when a disaster reveals more secrets and builds more rifts between us?

We had survived the winter, but could we now survive the fiery end of a love gone bad?
