βA man is lucky if he is the first love of a woman. A woman is luckier if she is the last love of a man.β βCharles Dickens
Skylar Rebel McKay's life was changed forever at twelve years old when her father died at sea. Now an orphan with no family ties she leaves Seattle behind with no intention of ever returning.
Now, a thirty-two-year-old Skylar is as far from her childhood home as she could get, and exactly where she wants to be in New York City. A successful CEO in the finance world with a ball buster reputation and the strength and intelligence to back it up, her unconventional appearance only adds to her appeal. She commands attention every time she walks in a room. She knows it and uses this to her advantage however necessary.
But everything she's avoided over the last twenty years could change all that when the past resurfaces in the worst way.
At fourteen years old, Deidrick βDirkβ Xavier Tylerβs life was flipped on its axis, not once, but twice. The day his father died, and the day the love of his life moved away.
At thirty-four, Dirk has plenty of secrets. Heβs got the looks and brooding temperament to match his wits and confidence. And he always gets what he wants. In New York on business, he sets his mind on a mission to find the one who got away.
He never blamed her for leaving.
But he hated her every day she was gone.
He realized in his teens, after his life was wrecked again and again, she was everything he needed. But he couldnβt just go after her, he had something to prove first.
Everything is on track.
Find her, see her, seduce her, and leave her wanting.
His plan would have worked, until she walks onto his boat and back into his heart.
With two vastly different lives can they find love and a balance that will keep them together?
Or will life continue to tear them apart?
