Asher Sullivan was once Remy Brennan’s entire world—until he broke her heart into a million pieces. So when Asher crashes her wedding, Remy is certain he’s come to claim her. To make her his again.

Sticking by Remy’s side means Asher is finally able to make amends for leaving her all those years ago. And soon they’re giving in to their wicked, insatiable need. But just as Asher gets his second chance, a secret Remy is keeping could rip her away from him…forever.
