From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes an Arrowood-Hennington crossover next generation novella. No one makes my blood boil like Cayden Hennington. When I finished second in my class in law school, he finished first. We interned at the same firm-he got hired while I didn't. Now we're opposing counsel on my first big solo case, and I refuse to lose to him. I will not think about the way his lips taste or how he makes my heart race. I won't dream of that night we argued until our clothes came off. That night is irrelevant because I am over him. (I'm am also lying to myself). However, we're both professionals, right? Wrong. One stupid drink is all it takes after six hours of intense negotiations to find myself right back in his arms and in a world of trouble. There is a thin line between love and hate, and we are destined to choose a side. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it's an introduction to an author's world.

I was poised to become partner at my law firm even before I became secretly engaged to my boss. After being humiliated by him on my wedding day, I can’t face working for him any longer. So I quit, waving my middle finger on my way out. Now the only things I’m poised for are unemployment and loneliness. When an opportunity with Cole Security arises, it seems like the perfect way to run, all the way to Virginia Beach. I wasn’t expecting my childhood sweetheart to be there. I definitely wasn’t prepared that when we saw each other again, Benjamin Pryce would be so grown-up. So gorgeous. So Navy SEAL-ish. And still the same guy who broke my heart when I was fifteen--and could do it again. They say if you’re fooled once, shame on them. The second time, it’s on you. The third time, it’s going to be me that runs... unless he can convince me to stay forevermore.
