Safe at home and determined to settle back into her quiet, uneventful life, Mercy burns at the memory of her night spent ravishing the most compelling man she’d ever met. Thank goodness she’ll never see him again! He didn't see her coming... No one trifles with Silas Masters.

He will hunt down the sultry woman who haunts his dreams and show her just how sweet payback can be.
