Carlos Kincaid is an irresistible, rugged loner who is the epitome of that good guy who finishes last when it comes to women. His life is finally on track when Everly Robinson, his Achilles' heel returns to Chicago to turn his world upside down. She stirs up memories of their inexhaustible, hot, steamy, lust-filled nights that he thought were long gone. Everly chose the wrong man one time too many in her life. She finds herself on the run from two dangerous men, one who conned her into leaving the only love she's ever known and the other whom she calls her father. In desperate need of help, she escaped a mental and physical prison to go in search of the one man she trusts and has always loved. Carlos is frustrated that old feelings could lead him back into the arms of the woman he needed to hate in order to move on. He couldn't tell if her story was filled with lies or truths. Against his better judgement, he's ready to risk his heart and his life for a woman who once betrayed him and his love.
