Scarlet Bennet thought she’d left her childhood behind. She was wrong. At twenty-four, Scarlet has a tiny apartment, an exhausting job, a questionable bank account, and absolutely no idea what she’s doing with her life. Then she walks into a meeting and catches the attention of a dangerously attractive stranger. Colton Hayes. Cold eyes. Tattoos. Money. Power. And an attitude that screams stay the fuck away from me. Except Colt knows her. He knew her when she was seven. He knew her when she used to sneak him candy at night. He knew her when she patched up his wounds with scraps of colorful fabric. And he remembers the bracelet she gave him before they were separated. Scarlet doesn’t recognize the man sitting across the table. But Colt recognizes his girl immediately. He just has no intention of telling her that he’s the same boy who promised he’d come back. Because Scarlet doesn’t know he’s a mob boss. And Colt would very much like to keep it that way. Unfortunately for him, keeping secrets becomes difficult when the woman he’s spent seventeen years searching for keeps accidentally walking straight into his life. Again. And again. And again.
