It was only supposed to be a one-night stand. Fox Collins never meant to fall in love with the passing stranger, Melody Waters, and sure didn’t mean to fall into bed. But when she’s gone the next morning, he tells himself it’s for the best. It doesn’t matter that she haunts his dreams and the fire between them burned hotter than anything he’s ever touched before. Only Melody finds herself new in town, needing a refuge and a home after running for far too long. Not to mention, she needs to find Fox. Because it seems that the past she fought to run from not only has caught up to her, but the best night of her life had far more consequences than either of them counted on. ~~~~~~~~ Read what others are saying about New York Times bestselling author, Carrie Ann Ryan: “Count on Carrie Ann Ryan for emotional, sexy, character driven stories that capture your heart!” – Carly Phillips, NY Times bestselling author “Carrie Ann Ryan’s romances are my newest addiction!
