About This Book
When her husband leaves her for a younger woman, transplant surgeon Harlow James finds herself alone, without family, and barely a career. So she trades the bright lights of Manhattan for the open road and ends up at the Pearl, a sustainable home outside of Taos, New Mexico where she hopes to find out where she went wrong.
But her quiet retreat is shattered when the home's owner, custom craftsman, Dax Drexel, arrives sooner than expected, and Harlow finds herself with the perfect distraction. For Dax is everything she never thought she'd want in a man. He's gorgeous, rough around the edges and way too young.
But he may also be the one man who can give her everything she's always wanted.

At first, I thought she was dead, but the rise and fall of her chest told me that she was just passed out, probably from the half-empty bottle of Bordeaux I'd been saving for a special occasion. Two grand down the drain, courtesy of Goldi-effing-locks here, who's not only passed out cold, but she's also naked.
I should walk out right now and let her be...
But I can't. Not when there's something else next to the Bordeaux, something that shouldn't be there. And it's sitting on top of a note that begins with the words...
"I'm sorry I failed you...
