"[CRUSH] was a beautiful little one-bite story. The simmering tension of their years-long, seemingly unrequited crushes had me breathless. Their love shimmers off the pages!"-USA Today Bestselling Author, Christi Barth When what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas... Former Las Vegas showgirl Nicki Hollister has a new job, a new home, and a new life. What she doesn't have is a new man-and she has no interest in finding one. After a whirlwind affair turned disastrous ten years before, she left happily-ever-afters in the desert dust and never looked back. But when the man who left her high and dry in Sin City suddenly appears in Santa Christa, she finds herself remembering the ways he touched her heart before he broke it and she can't turn away. British billionaire mogul Simon Grenville has an almost royal pedigree and the enticing accent to match. When his future is threatened by a quickie marriage that should have been over a decade ago, he's determined to confront the woman who betrayed him. Except he soon finds out everything wasn't quite as it seemed. And now the only person who can put his life back on track is the one woman he was never supposed to have.
