Onemata, New Zealand ~ Present Day

Jack Dolan and Lily Fontaine were teen lovers until Lily’s father discovered their affair and sent Lily away. In the intervening years, things have changed: Lily became an international model, and Jack amassed a fortune. Now Lily is back, licking her wounds as her career has waned, while Jack is poised to financially destroy the family he’s come to hate...the Fontaines.

The first person Lily meets upon her return to Onemata is Jack. He immediately charms her, wanting to “catch up” on old times, and he’s soon wooing Lily to spend time together. Lily resists at first, but begins to realize that she’s not over him. Will Lily learn what Jack is up to before she falls hard for him? And what will happen when they have to deal not only with what happened in their past, but with the present?

Lily has spent much of her past letting her father rule her life, even while she’s been away from her beloved hometown all these years. Now broke and with no career, she’s uncertain what she’ll do in the future, but it doesn’t take long before her past with Jack catches up with her. The chemistry between them has never died, and Jack seems bent on making sure it heats up again by arranging for them to be alone. But Lily’s father warns her that Jack is up to no good, and when she learns why Jack’s paying attention to her, will she be able to walk away without a singed heart?

Jack only wants revenge against the man who destroyed his family and the woman who broke his heart. He won’t rest until she’s in his bed again, a piece of chattel to show off as his prize; then he’ll walk away, leaving her in shattered pieces, just like she did to him all those years ago. But can he go through with it in the end?
