Product Description

Hardy Cates is self-made, charming - and determined to carry out his private revenge against the Travis family. So when he crashes a Travis family wedding, the last thing he expects is to find himself kissing his adversary Haven Travis in a dark corner. Hardy has done many things in his life he's not proud of, but now he's trying to rid himself of his roughneck past, which doesn't mean falling in love with a rival - no matter how beautiful she is. Haven, likewise, vows to stay far away from Hardy. Having had her heart quite recently broken - and her body battered and bruised by the man she thought she had loved - she's through with men. That is, until she discovers that the temptation of a tender-hearted, blue-eyed devil is hard to resist. And then, when a menace from Haven's past appears, Hardy may be the only one to save her...

Customer Reviews

Read Sugar Daddy first
I think one should read Sugar Daddy before this book to get a better appreciation of the character Hardy Cates. I give it a 4 star because I could not warm up to the heroine's character, Haven. I definitely preferred Liberty from Sugar Daddy but overall it is a good and enjoyable book.

Wonderful..page turner
Touching!!
Haven comes from a rich background and elopes with Nick who basically abuses her in every manner. She returns to her family after 2 years and tries to get a life back on track. She meets Hardy whom her sister-in-law has known before (Sugar Daddy). Hardy was awsome and kind.
Absolutely loved it! I could not put it down and it was a page turner. This story is from Haven's point of view.
