Eight years ago, a scandal ripped my family apart and cost me the only man I've ever loved-Parker Bennett. Now I finally have my life back together . . . a successful flower shop, good friends, and I've convinced myself I can handle anything thrown my way. Until I see him again.

I should have said no when his wealthy, sophisticated mother walked into my shop asking me to create centerpieces for her anniversary party. But my best friend convinced me that the event would be great for business. Against my better judgement I took the job, telling myself I was over him. After all, he's been in Manhattan for eight years, building a reputation as the millionaire CEO of his family's hotel empire. Rumor has it he's also become a charming playboy who collects hearts all over town . . . then breaks them.

But the second I saw him standing in front of me, I knew I was in trouble. All I can think about is how good I felt in his arms. And when I give into the temptation to feel that way again, I discover the fire between us burns even hotter.

Parker is successful, confident, and hotter than hell. He can have any woman he wants, but he's asking for a second chance with me. Saying yes would mean not only risking my heart, but the life I've worked so hard to put back together. But how can I walk away when he tells me I've always been the one?
