A mistress should never be naive enough to fall in love with her protector or trust him with her financial future. Mariah Desmond did both, and her beloved protector died, leaving her with nothing. Forced to seek another, she is determined to be guided by survival instinct rather than her heart. But when she attends one of Vivien Manning's scandalous parties, the familiar face of her late lover's best friend catches her off guard. A painful past has taught John Rycroft that he is no one's Prince Charming. His weakness for Mariah—or rather, his strength—is precisely why he has kept his distance. However, seeing her flirt with a swarm of men competing to become her next lover triggers something deep within him. When John pulls her away from her suitors, Mariah's indignation melts into the heat of their burning chemistry. But she soon discovers that navigating John's stormy emotional waters is not easy, especially when his father's violent pursuit to regain control over his son puts her life in danger.
