She thinks he’s despicable. He wants her back… with a vengeance.
Ashly Roberts and Jake Connors are barely twenty when they decide to take the proverbial plunge and walk down the aisle to exchange vows in front of the dearly beloved. Basking in bridal bliss, Ashly feels she is living the perfect fairytale, until she’s faced with a runaway groom, dumped at the altar by bad-boy fiancé, Jake … Jake Connors.
Five years later, Jake steps back into her life…
He realizes that being a no-show for their nuptials was the worst mistake of his life. A little older and more mature, he is ready to fight for Ashly’s love once again. When Ashly sees him, she can’t deny the attraction she feels, but her hormones are overruled by the horror of what he did to her in the past. Nevertheless, Jake’s most potent weapon, those dazzling baby blues, ignites a spark in Ashly, no matter how angry she wants to be. She cannot deny the spark, and she only hopes the inferno it ignites will not consume her heart again.
This is NOT erotica. This is a love story and a romance. Ashly is a photographer and took this hot, shirtless picture of Jake before they broke up. He hopes they can rekindle the magic and re-take this picture.
This is part one and all your questions won’t be answered without purchasing part 2.

It is a recipe for a good book, if only it wasn’t so … I don’t know, dragged through the mud, I …
I’m reviewing the audio edition. I have never read/listened to this author before and I had book hangover from a dark story I had just finished when I got a chance to get a free copy of this story. This is my voluntary review. From the blurb I thought it might be a lighter romance. So far I’ve been right. It is a left at the alter/second …
