It’s best to leave the past behind. Ramsey’s family is local royalty. Basically the Kennedys around here. And he doesn’t have a problem using his money and connections to work the system.
It’s the reason he and I didn’t work out, years ago. Then I make a mistake–I let a night of fun and relived memories lead to inviting him and his best friend-slash-campaign manager into my bed. With their smoldering looks and magic fingers, it’s a mistake I’m tempted to repeat.
But I need to remember the people they are behind closed doors don’t mesh with their public faces. Because in Ramsey and Hunter’s world, appearance is everything, even if hearts get stomped on in the process. Author's Note: This title was previously published under the same name.
