All Talia McKenzie wants from Trace Barringer is his money—in the form of a donation to her charity. The last thing she needs is the arrogant and sexy businessman muscling his way on to the committee.

With the passion between them reaching a fever pitch, Talia can’t deny her attraction to Trace for long. But how can they build a future when she can’t forgive the past?
