She likes to party and have a good time; if the night ends in steamy sex that’s a bonus. She’s always sought pleasure first and never found a man that turned her down; until Garrett Hale. Never in her life was she forced to pursue a man, but his rejection doesn’t sit well with her. Alexa aches for Garrett, his rejection festering in her gut. The yearning for him escalating until she is able to seduce him, taste him.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGarrett Hale, a private man with muted emotions, has no interest in serious relationships. Having his heart ripped out by his first love, he now leaves a trail of one-night stands in his wake. Mutually satisfying sex without commitment is his newly adopted lifestyle. Alexa’s constant temptation has his restraint wavering. The aftermath of giving into her would be messy; she is after all the best friend of his cousin’s girlfriend, which guarantees future run-ins, not something that’s supposed to happen with a one-night stand. Yet, the allure of having his mouth on her is almost more than he can bear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith hearts on the line, and ever increasing desire burning through them both, will one night be enough for either of them?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is the second book in the Hale Series.
