Heather Morris runs numbers at an accounting firm by day, but her conservative suits hide tattoos and piercings from wilder times. At a wine tasting, she catches the eye of Captain Jon Carlisle, a cocky fighter pilot who spots the rebellious streak beneath her professional exterior. Jon specializes in short-term conquests, but Heather's combination of boardroom polish and hidden fire intrigues him. Their flirtation moves from roulette tables to passionate encounters that push both their boundaries. Jon finds himself wanting more than his usual casual arrangements, while Heather struggles between her carefully controlled life and the excitement Jon offers. She built her respectable facade for good reasons, and letting someone past her defenses means risking the stability she has worked to create. Jon must decide whether to pursue something deeper with a woman who guards her heart as carefully as she hides her past.
