This is a brisk, emotionally heightened romance that thrives on the delicious tension between resentment and overwhelming desire.

The prose is direct and deeply sensual, focusing on the electric, unspoken communication between the leads before exploding into steamy encounters. It is a perfect, fast-paced escape for readers who love classic category romance tropes, especially the wealthy, arrogant businessman who must eat his words and grovel when he realizes he has misjudged the woman he cannot stay away from.

About the book
The One He'd Never Stopped Wanting It had been forty-nine days—and nights— since Guy Jarrod last touched Avery Lancaster. Yes, the successful businessman had believed the rumors of her gold-digging ways. But she was an itch he needed to scratch. And being forced to work with her again during Aspen's Food and Wine Gala meant she was right within his reach. Once he finally had his will, he would send her on her way... Out of his life for good. But what if the rumors were false? Had he made a mistress out of the woman who should have been his wife.
