About this ebook

Marianna will do anything to save her father’s company—even hire her ex to help. When old desires catch like wildfire, she won’t let it consume her…but sometimes playing with fire means getting burned.

Following their forbidden teenage romance, Marianna Ruiz never thought she’d see Simon Rodriguez again. So when she does, she feels… Shocked? Angry? Tempted? All of the above? But they can’t get involved again, no matter how much Simon entices her with his rock-solid body…and those penetrating green eyes.

Marianna doesn’t need Simon anymore, or what they shared. She just needs his elite security expertise. A scheming ex and some suspicious dealings at the family business rattle her—and when things escalate, there’s no one else to turn to. When their time together in Sydney leads to some seriously hot hookups, Marianna doesn’t hold back in seducing him into satisfying her other needs.

Although their lust for each other burns hotter every day, Marianna knows she must keep the upper hand. Expose her scheming ex, save her father’s legacy and exact a little revenge along the way. Make Simon want her like she wanted him. Then leave and never look back…

Sexy. Passionate. Bold. Discover Harlequin Dare, a new line of fun, edgy and sexually explicit romances for the fearless female.

Beautiful second-chance romance! Fighting against the weight of their history, Simon and Marianne also have to get to the bottom of the suspicious activity at the company Marianne's father left her. Driven apart eleven years ago by their fathers, they are still nursing broken hearts and stepping carefully around their trust issues. Simon is the bodyguard that Marianne needs now, and with the backing of the Blackmore team they take on her ex-husband and anyone he's working with. Light on the action and suspense, this story mostly revolves around the conflicting feelings as Simon and Mari figure out just how much their intense chemistry can develop into a more satisfying relationship. This story was amazing and powerful in its display of the emotional turmoil both characters felt. This is a romance that draws the reader in right from the start and doesn't let go until the ring is on her finger. Absolutely beautiful, I loved every bit. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I just love a good second chance romance and Marianna and Simon's book did not disappoint it was well written and these two were just great together. They were head over heels for each other when she was eighteen until her dad drove them apart now ten years have passed and Simon is back and the first thing he does is save her from her ex-husband. This is a good book and I would recommend it.

~A forever first love~ Eleven years has gone by before Simon sets eyes on the one woman he can never seem to forget, in the middle of a situation he could not just stand by and watch. He had returned to his home in Miami, but fate placed him face to face with Marianna. Even while his past was flooding back to taunt him, she clearly needed his help. But when Marianna follows him back to Australia and wants to hire him as her personal bodyguard, Simon knows he cannot say no to her. The question is, how is going to keep himself in control in order to perform his job professionally, working to get answers to Marianna’s questions about her father’s business? This was a hot story, with intense moments between two star-crossed lovers given a second chance together. Enthralling with its suspense elements. I am looking forward to reading the other stories of this series, now that I got a glimpse of the other men at Blackmore, Inc!
