When love is more than a matter of the heart...heartbreak may be unavoidable.

In the aftermath of a shattering personal loss, Detective Kyle Bain buries her pain in the routine of fulfilling her professional and family obligations. When she meets Lane Connor, the owner of a popular restaurant on the shores of the Pacific Ocean who is struggling with a broken heart of her own, the chance for happiness suddenly seems possible. As Lane and Kyle take the first tentative steps toward rebuilding their lives and exploring the attraction between them, Kyle makes a shocking discovery about the woman she is coming to love. Can Kyle and Lane find a way to heal the damage that threatens the fragile ties that bind them, heart to heart?

What would you do if an irresistibly desirable but utterly untouchable woman whispered to you, If you want me, you'll have to come and get me? 

That's exactly the dilemma that Elliott Foster, CEO of Foster MacKenzie, faces when she meets the alluring Lauren Collier, Chief Legal Counsel of a Fortune 500 company. Elliott never has a shortage of attractive women willing to share her bed, and she doesn't care if they are interested in her or just her money. By her rules, if two women are attracted to each other there's no reason why two women with a mutual agenda for pleasure shouldn't spend the night together—or in some cases, the afternoon. No strings, no complications—until Lauren, who is intriguing but decidedly off-limits. Lauren doesn't fit the pattern of casual liaisons and Elliot knows she should walk away. Instead she finds herself in the unusual position of pursuing a woman, and even more disconcertingly...on Lauren's terms. Suddenly Elliott finds herself on a roller-coaster ride of passion and discovery that promises to be the ride of her life.
