Ten years ago, loving Claire cost Cade his freedom. He's served his time for a crime he didn't commit and moved on with his life. Only now Claire is back with a secret she's desperate to keep. One Cade is more than willing to exploit in order to regain the upper hand with the woman who broke his heart.
On the run, Claire has returned to the seaside retreat where she first tasted freedom, found love, and discovered pleasure. And where she learned the bitter lesson of betrayal. Now her freedom depends on surrender to a man she can’t trust. But giving up control to Cade is a pleasure she's never been able to resist. With a past Cade can’t forget and a future Claire can’t believe in, the erotic demands of the present are all they have left.
