Home flames still burning...
Malcolm Gray is Lauren Emersonâs biggest regret. Eight years ago, a breakdown of trust cost her a beautiful future with the most charming man sheâd ever met. Now a career-making opportunity brings the nutrition entrepreneur home, where she hopes to declare a truce with her ex-love, the star running back of the Los Angeles Cobras. But their first encounter unleashes explosive passion...and unwanted memories of the precious dreams they once shared.
Malcolm canât forgive Lauren for her betrayal after they had pledged their eternal devotion. But her play-stopping curves alone are a turn-on he canât resist. He knows heâll never get over herânor does he want to... Is their love worth a second chance? Or is he risking heartbreak again? As they jockey for position, a new set of rules could change the game for both of them.

âLook, Malcolm, I know this is awkward for both of us.â
âAwkward? Is that what this is?â Malcolm leaped to his feet, and she instinctively took a step back. âAwkward doesnât begin to define what this is. Why are you here?â
Lauren frowned and folded her arms. âI donât know what you mean.â
âYou couldâve taken a job anywhere. Why here?â he asked through clenched teeth. âI donât want you here.â
She placed her hands on her hips and leaned up in his face, her dark brown eyes flashing with anger. âBecause this is where I wanted to work. I was offered an opportunity few get, and taking it meant being closer to my family. What was I supposed to do, check with you first? News flash, Malcolm Gray, I donât need your permission for my job choice, and whether you like it or not, I plan to be here for a long time!â
Something within him snapped, and before his action registered in his brain, he hauled her into his arms and crushed his mouth against hers in a hungry and demanding kiss.
Dear Reader,
Well, self-proclaimed bachelor for life Malcolm Gray is the sole holdout of the Gray clan, or so he thinks, until his past shows up in the form of his college sweetheart, Lauren Emerson. If youâve kept up with the Gray brothers, you know that they possess a chivalry gene. Malcolm is no different, which makes it hard to keep his distance. Lauren gives as well as she gets, and sparks fly. They both have regrets, but thereâs something sweet about love the second time around...if theyâre willing to risk it all.
