No cliff-hangers in this one and always safe. This is a stand-alone, although the companion book focusing on Ash's twin, Alix, will compliment it nicely. There is a sneak preview of the sequel, SAVOR included at the end and a look at the beautiful landscape that will also host HARD: Pearl of My Bones, an AMBW finale for the ages coming out in December.

Phaedra Jenkins feels used, abandoned and utterly alone-until she meets her new boss, Ashton Nagakura. It would take nothing to just come a little closer, just there. “I can’t begin to tell you how much your friendship means to me,” Ash said, still drinking in her face. The lashes kissing the delicate smattering of freckles on her mahogany cheek. She was so beautiful, those plump lips naturally lined by a darker stain of pink as they blossomed into a cherry in the center, those wide eyes so rich and opaque he could stare into them for hours and never separate pupil from iris. Ash shook off the images swarming his head and tried to focus on her again it wasn’t hard.
