Hot new karate instructor? Yes, please! Rick is delicious enough to melt Amber Lovett's common sense into a sticky puddle of goo. Oh, that dimple! But it's his kindness toward her son that makes him irresistible enough to forget her no-relationships rule and risk her heart on another try at love.

Except he's not who she thought he was.

No, he's everything she's sworn to stay far away from. Rich. Powerful. Ruthless. She made that mistake once before and lost everything. Never again.

Investment guru Richard Beaumont just jettisoned one bad relationship. He's not looking for another. Especially not with a struggling single mom, no matter how much her down-to-earth values seem to ground him. But the connection between them is undeniable, even though Amber has no idea who he really is.

Except it seems she does.

Turns out all that attraction was to his billions, not him. Again. A fact that cracks the guarded heart he didn't even realize had gotten involved.

It doesn't take long for Richard to realize he's made a huge mistake about Amber. Now he'll have to earn not only her forgiveness, but her trust as well. And she'll have to decide if giving him another chance is worth the price, especially when her past shows up to remind her exactly how much is at stake.
