Isaac Holt understands the pain of loss. He fought through the tragedy, sought vengeance for it, and in the process, built a formidable empire of both wealth and admiration.

However, he had no clue how lonely he was until a brunette with a Cupid bow lip and sultry curves fell at his feet.

Her chocolate brown eyes held a lifetime of secrets, but with a childhood illness teaching Isaac that the weak are often misunderstood, he saw more than a timid, shy woman.

She sparked his interest, and although his astuteness could have been blinded by lust, years of challenges assured him more than desire was at play.

As tension burns between them, will Isaac and Isabelle find solace in the flames? Or will they be scorched by truths so ferocious nothing but ash will be left in their wake?
