Determined to keep love at bay, shes resigned herself to a life of no strings attached, but just as she settles on her new loveless path, her heart is put to the test again. Jackson Pierce is all for a good time with a gorgeous woman, but Emery isnt like other women. For the first time in a long time, hes found someone he cant stop thinking about and cant wait to get to know better. The only problem is shes built walls around her heart and no amount of promises or long, lust-filled nights will convince her to let him get closer. As Emery and Jackson try to find a balance between what they want and what they need, they find themselves up against people from their past and forced to face the truth, no matter what the cost. Is their relationship strong enough to survive the obstacles life places in front of them?
