Eleven years later, Lola's all grown up—brash, confident, and alluring. She's ready to tell her story, and she wants Samson Black to write it. Samson would love to reveal the truth about that fateful night and resurrect his flagging career. But before he can make sense of Lola's twisty tale, Todd escapes from prison, seeking revenge against the woman-child who betrayed him.
Now, Sam's life is in danger. But from who? The escaped con hot on his heels, or the woman at his side?
