In this steamy first novel by actor Stephen Collins, Nicolette Stallings - Nick - sees an attractive stranger across a restaurant. She's with a date; the stranger is with his wife. But when their eyes meet, Nick can tell he's trying to figure out a way to connect.

She'll make it easy for him - but hard too. It has to be that night. No names, a nearby hotel room. They'll never see each other again - which is the way Nick likes to play this game.

What she doesn't know is that this time she's met a man who'll flaunt her rules, violate her anonymity. Pushed to the brink, he'll take Nick with him. And when he's gone, she will stand alone . . .suspected of murder.
