Part of Beautiful Bastard, book 2
First published 2013
Sara Dillon trades her cheating boyfriend for a fresh start in New York City. She wants excitement without commitment. At a dance club, she meets Max Stella, a charming British financier with a reputation for loving and leaving women. What begins as a single night of passion becomes something neither expected. Max discovers that Sara brings out desires he never knew he had, especially when she agrees to let him photograph their intimate moments. They begin meeting in increasingly risky public places where discovery seems inevitable. Sara finds herself torn between two fears. Getting caught during their daring encounters terrifies her, but Max getting too close emotionally scares her even more. The Wall Street bad boy who never wanted to keep a woman around starts questioning everything he thought he knew about relationships. Sara must decide whether to protect her heart or risk everything for a man who might actually be worth keeping.
