    About this ebook

    What happens when the one that got away comes back into your life?

    Lily Kember never dreamed a causal introduction to a friend’s friend would change her life, but three days after meeting Kai Jettison, she’s fallen deeply and irrevocably in love.

    Kai falls just as hard, yet minutes after telling her as much he has no choice but to rip her heart to shreds, leaving whatever has blossomed between them lying in tatters on the ground.

    It’s been five months since that fateful day. Five months of no contact. Now Kai is attending the same end of year bash as Lily, and bumping into him seems unavoidable. Lily’s choices are limited: either steel her emotions against Kai or risk losing her heart to him all over again.

    Warning: You’ll be amazed how much heat can be packed into one short story.

      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to anyone who’s ever wondered what could have been...if he hadn’t gotten away.

      Prologue

      Sydney, Australia—Early July

      Breathless and trembling, Lily Kember clutched fistfuls of sheet in her hands, arched her back and bent her knee to her chest, opening herself completely to Kai’s lustful mouth.

Friendship was even pushing it, since she’d known Kai for all of three days. She hadn’t meant for anything to happen, hadn’t thought she’d meet anyone she desired so quickly after the break-up.

      A low growl of appreciation echoed from Kai’s throat.

      The sound rippled over her belly, making her nipples tighten and her skin break out in goose flesh. How was it possible she could still be this aroused after everything they’d already done together during the night? Sensation coiled deep within, liquid heat pooled between her thighs, and she knew she was
