FLYNN: I've never taken relationships seriously because I’ve never met anyone worth being serious for. I don't love them and leave them, but no-strings-hookup might as well be my middle name. Getting dared to kiss a gorgeous stranger with eyes like the ocean and hair like a cloud sounds like a surefire way to add another name to the list of men I've taken to bed, but before the night is over, I'll be proven wrong for the first time in my life. Rose Baker isn't like any man I've ever met before and one kiss—one night—in a hotel with him isn't anywhere close to enough. I want him again and I'm ready to break all my rules to get him.

ROSE: My best friend swears the easiest way to get over my cheating ex is to get under the gorgeous, arrogant, and dominant man who held me up against the wall at Rapture and kissed me until I forgot my name. But Flynn doesn't do serious, and I'm too scared to put my heart out there for something that won't last. Our lives are different and there's no way around it, but Flynn is focused, he's dedicated, and he's not willing to walk away from the things he wants. And right now, he wants me. Flynn is ready to go all in with me, but am I strong enough to admit that I deserve his praise and attention or am I going to sabotage myself and lose his love for good?Contains mature themes.
