My most epic mistake is also my greatest chance to find love again!

In hindsight, I should not have been caught having lusty relations with Arrow McCue in the back of his UPS delivery truck. My reckless meltdown got me fired from my first-year teaching job.

But my embarrassment after the lurid videos went viral on social media paled in comparison to being abandoned by my husband for his legal secretary.

When my Great Uncle Dax passed and willed me his real estate firm in Austin, Texas, I packed up my pride and my goldfish and headed for the Lone Star State, an awesome place for a fresh start. I vowed to stay on a straight path to no more drama from then onwards.

So, I keep trying to distract myself by having a fling with this hot drummer, John, a guy I met at a club in Austin.

Falling for my new head of security, Jesse Dalton, was never part of my plan.

Sure, Jesse's easy on my eyes and hard in the sack, (also my new office sofa, his bedroom, and the tops of cliffs), but he's a bad boy, free spirit with relationship commitment problems and things are turning into hot lava between us. I am a new girl boss now, and my business must come first.

But Jesse makes me feel beautiful, sensuous, strong, and protected. All the things I never felt in the last years of my failed marriage. Jesse gets me and when I feel his arms around me, I am enticed to trust a man again. To fall in love again. To let Jesse love me without feeling scared.

But way down inside of me, I am petrified.

Will this all be too much too soon and wreck my heart again? Will the risks of starting over be too great for us both to handle?

Or am I an idiot to let a second chance at love pass me by?
