Cheyenne Decard has carried a smoldering torch for Riley Moreno for six months. She isn’t sure if she wants to ignite him with the flame and watch him burn for leaving her hanging that night or strip off her clothes and beg him to set her skin on fire. Either way, she isn’t prepared to face him at her company fundraiser.
Riley Moreno has been kicking himself for leaving Cheyenne high and dry … and dry that night six months ago. It wasn’t as if he had another option. She was way too innocent for his tastes, and she was the best friend of his buddy’s fiancée. Off limits. However, he hasn’t stopped thinking about what it would be like to dominate her delectable body.
Cheyenne’s life is finally coming together. She has a great marketing job she loves and has moved into her own apartment in downtown Atlanta. What she doesn’t need is to get mixed up with the man who has infiltrated her dreams and forced her to invest in far too many batteries.
Riley has baggage she’d rather not penetrate—namely his ex-fiancée, Christine. But that crazy woman has returned to wreak havoc in Riley’s life and all those who get in her path. She’s moved to Atlanta, taken a job, and made it her mission to win Riley back into her good graces.
Cheyenne is going to need some very thick skin and a spine made of steel if she wants to make things work with Riley and keep her sanity at the same time. Her entire life is falling apart around the seams while she grasps at thin tendrils of sanity.
Riley has a tough decision to make. Should he risk going behind Cheyenne’s back to stop his ex from ruining his tenuous new relationship? And will his efforts prove futile when Cheyenne finds out he ignored her pleas to let her handle things on her own?

Awesome book, delves deeply into the mind of the submissive and all the initial worries and fears that come with handing over your control to another. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Riley and Cheyenne, especially as he begins to bring her into his world. I had a very hard time connecting with Cheyenne; I found her weak, overly stressed, and entirely too quick to run when the going got tough. However, the storyline and supporting characters really help to bring this book alive and keep the reader fascinated with the evolving relationship between the H/h. Riley is a strong alpha Dominant, yet he is gentle and compassionate towards Cheyenne’s insecurities and hesitation.
I received a copy of this book via the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A sizzling second chance romance with heat!
This book is so good! It has sizzling heat, romance, and another glimpse into the BDSM lifestyle.
Cheyenne met Riley at her friend Amy’s engagement party and fell for him hard. But after several hours of talking, flirting, and getting to know each other, Riley ditched her. So when they accidentally ran into each other six months later, Cheyenne was hurt and angry at him and Riley understood that. The question was whether she was willing to listen to reason and give him a second chance.
This is book two in a series, and it must be read after book one for the best experience. I won’t give a run down of the plot as many other reviews have already done that, but I will say this: this book was a great addition and it was fill of action, BDSM, suspense, mystery, passion and lust. I loved the secondary characters as much as the main ones. They added to much life to this story.
The way this author writes, nothing is wasted, nothing is “filler.” Everything has its purpose and reasoning. I love that if something is mentioned or hinted at it will be explained later. Great story. I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.
Riley Moreno swooped back into Cheyenne Decard’s life six months after meeting her and running out on her all in the same night. Hanging on his coattails was his ex fianceé Christine Parson, bitch extraordinaire. Then guess who shows up as Cheyenne’s immediate supervisor….Christine of course. She proceeds to make Cheyenne’s work life hell. Meanwhile Riley becomes a huge part of Cheyenne’s personal life by introducing her to his BDSM lifestyle. Resistant at first, Cheyenne is completelt taken by this man, this Dom. Riley interferes in Cheyenne’s work life, even though he had agreed to back off, and Cheyenne is livid. His interference kept her from losing her job but put a huge target on her back. Christine was gunning for her, literally. After Christine destroys Cheyenne’s apartment and one whole floor of her workplace, Cheyenne is ready to throw in the towel, quit her job and move somewhere else in order to start a new life and retain her sanity. She gives Riley one last chance to fully explain everything that has happened and as a result they do reconcile. When a crazed Christine shows up at Riley’s in the middle of the night wielding a gun it’s the final straw. Fortunately, no one is seriously injured and Christine is taken into custody. Cheyenne moves in with Riley on a trial basis that quickly becomes a permanent arrangement. He continues to push her boundaries and she lets him because after all she’s the one with all the power.
