Bec Darden was a high-powered attorney who had spent her entire adult life building a fearsome reputation both in the courtroom and the boardroom.
But once upon a time, she was also a naÃŊve and romanticâaka idioticâsoul whoâd married her college sweetheart on a whim just before graduating. She and Luke were young and in love andâ
No surprise, her marriage had been short-lived.
Explosive. Miserable. And incredibly, incredibly short-lived.
But now Luke Pearson was back in her life and with the worst possible news. Her marriage, the one sheâd almost immediately regretted, and the subsequent divorce sheâd paid through the teeth for by working insane hours and basically not sleeping for several years hadnât happened.
As in she was still freaking married.
Luke had been sexy in high school, gorgeous in college, but he was even hotter as a grown man and his reappearance in her life hadnât done anything to dampen the attraction she felt for him.
But Bec had already learned that sex wasnât everything. One broken heart was enough, and she wasnât in the market to give Luke another chance at shattering her all over again. He needed to sign the divorce papers she drafted and leave her to her life.
Except . . . what did they say about best laid plans?
Because Luke wouldnât sign.
