Nikan can never be complete. He's got a rock group made up of the family he built for himself, more money than he knows what to do with, and a stream of groupies falling over themselves to date him. But none of them are her. The one regret that still plagues him, still taunts him with what he could have had.
Jenny is a survivor. Now running a group home after overcoming life in a cult lead by her manipulative father and watching her mother drink the poison he fed his followers, she fights to keep the light in the eyes of every boy who walks through her doors. Far from simple young love, Nik taught her to trust, showed her how good life could be. Before he formed the band. Before he became a famous rockstar. Before he destroyed it all.
A chance meeting after years of no contact shows the connection still blazes between them. But will they have their second chance at love? Or will the weight of their past crush their future together?

Short Blurb

I was never supposed to be here. 

Stranded. Trapped. Snowed In.

With her.

This blizzard keeps me from fulfilling my duty as my father's successor, leading a business empire that has no equal. I have all the money in the world, but it is useless against this act of nature.

Beautiful small town girl Lena offers me shelter in her lonely home, even though we didn’t get off to a good start.

It may be the alluring depth of sadness in her ocean blue eyes, her flawless porcelain skin, or the sweet and tantalizing lure of the mulled wine she’s making – but something tells me, she’s ready to take what I have to offer.

Longer Blurb
This was supposed to be my first official appearance, my introduction as the new face of my family’s empire.

It was not supposed to turn into a f*cking trap, imprisoning in the middle of nowhere during a blizzard.

Matters shift from bad to worse when I find myself stranded and dependent on her. Lena, the beautiful but impertinent small town girl who offers me shelter.

We didn’t get off to a good start, but now we’re forced to ride out this damn blizzard together, trapped in her strange house, snapping at each other and bantering back and forth like an old couple, even though we just met.

It may be the alluring depth of sadness in her ocean blue eyes, her flawless porcelain skin, or the sweet and tantalizing lure of the mulled wine she’s making – but something tells me, she’s ready to take what I have to offer.
She’s not sassy by default, but she’s awaking the monster in me.

And there’s nowhere for either of us to run.

***This is a sweet & sexy novella with a HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhangers - but lots of mulled wine & scenes that will warm your heart and set your kindle on fire! Includes bonus material for a limited time!***
