The ultimate revenge. A precarious second chance at love. And a dirty trick that plays so hard on hearts that one gets broken...and the other one could lose everything.



So much for that. It's all I can think about after seeing the questionable text message. His reaction to it would be telling to anyone else. But me, stupidly, I trust him. Until I find out the truth and it sets me free. Jagger is the last person I want to go to, but in my line of work, I don't see how I have a choice. But the past comes back to bite me in the ass, just like I thought it would, and in more ways than one. Painfully, he's still the hottest man I know, and the smartest. And he holds the ticket to my future, but does he know that he may have the ticket to my heart, too?

I know she's coming back the second that I see her name on the list. Bowie is no more impressed by her decision to come knocking on my door than I am. But I get it. And with the industry - and by that, I mean my brothers - breathing down my neck, I haven't got a choice but to hire her. The past still haunts me. I try to hide it but, just like back then, Bowie can see right through me. It's a gift. So is she. But I can't tell her that, or it could cost us everything. He was a fool. But can I count on him being fool enough to stay away? If I don't play my cards right, I risk losing two of the things that I love the most in life.



...and she's worth it. She just doesn't know it...yet.
