**Can she overcome the trauma of the past for a second chance at love? **

Stubborn journalist Tara Fields had everything she wanted until a drug smuggler's bullet nearly destroyed it all. Grieving the loss of her unborn daughter and a shattered marriage, Tara has found a fragile peace writing a newspaper column and dating a man who leaves her numb. If she has to feel real emotions again, she's not sure she can survive it.

Enter her ex-husband, Alex Kent, a wealthy and charismatic lawyer with a U.S. senator for a client. The corruption of America’s power elite and the schemes of heartless women have made him long for the simple contentment of life with Tara. He returns home to San Diego to win back the only woman who ever loved him for himself and not his money.

Alex is no longer the cocky, controlling man Tara remembers, but she’s afraid of jeopardizing her identity and new-found freedom. She fights the magnetic passion still sparking between them. When another woman comes into the picture, Tara has to make a choice. Can she bear to lose Alex forever, or will she find the strength to open her heart again?
