Mattie Houston had come home from Paris looking for sweet revenge on Hunter Chadwick, the impossibly handsome man who'd broken her heart - ten years before. She'd made a wild, wanton impression on everyone she'd met on her concert tours, but Hunter could see through her defiant bravado and knew she still believed he betrayed her. He'd never forgotten that sultry summer of sunshine and haunting jazz when they'd fallen shamelessly, recklessly in love, and neither had Mattie, though she'd sworn to dance until she forgot him. But one touch - one teasing, tantalizing caress - and she had to surrender. No other man could make her feel the scorching heat of desire, could seduce her senses and fill her secret dreams - but why had Hunter shattered her hopes the last time? Only the past held a promise for the future - but did she dare to face the truth?
