When Blaire Wynn's mother passed away, Blaire's life changed in an instant. Having cared for her sick mother for the last three years, suddenly Blaire has to leave the small farmhouse in Alabama they shared, to move in with her father and his new wife in their sprawling beach house along the Florida gulf coast. But what she isn't prepared for is the lifestyle change that comes with the move, and she knows she'll never fit into the new world of luxury and extravagance that suddenly surrounds her.
Even worse, her father has run off to Paris for the summer with his wife, leaving her stranded with Rush, her new stepbrother, who's irritating, arrogant and... seriously sexy. Rush is as spoiled as he is gorgeous; his famous father's guilt money, his mother's desperation to win his love, and his charm are the three reasons he has never been told no. Blaire knows he is anything but good for her, but somehow she can't fight the attraction she's feeling, especially when she starts to think the attraction might be mutual... Rush is jaded and has secrets Blaire knows she may never uncover but even knowing all of that Blaire just may have fallen too far.
This novel had my heart from the very first chapter. It was not at all what I expected. I was thinking it would be the young innocent virgin falls for the bad guy and love would triumph, but not from this author. Rush is a bad boy and he knows it. It doesn't stop him from wanting his new stepsister, Blaire, more than any other woman he's ever met. Blaire is young but has lived through tragedy and has her head firmly planted on her shoulders. Through the up and downs, the pair learn to open up to each other and even find love. But is it enough to get passed their pain? I can't wait to find out as their story continues in the next installment due out March 2013.
