Shy. A true wallflower. Willow is a good girl. Too good for me. And how the hell was I supposed to know that she’s related to Loren Hale--yeah, that douchebag celebrity that lives on my street. The same guy I've been pranking by spray painting vulgar words on his mailbox and worse. Much worse. Don't ask me why I do the things I do. Don't ask me why it had to be her. I'm cursed. Simple as that. But here's the thing about people who are cursed--they break everything they touch. And yet. . .I still want to touch her.

It started with an affair; a seven day long, no-strings-attached holiday affair on the beaches of Mexico. I'm trading in my bohemian artist life in Paris for the grit and glamor of New York City in a bid to reinvent my life for the second time and rejoin my fractured family. But before I jump into the deep end, I take a much needed vacation in Mexico. Where I meet the enigmatic, French billionaire, Sinclair. The last thing I need in my life is another complication. Sinclair is older, more experienced in every way, rich, sophisticated, and taken by another woman. He shouldn't want me. I shouldn't let myself want him. Yet, when he proposes a seven-day holiday affair, I can't resist the temptation. What follows is the most passionate week of my life, and despite my best intentions, he makes it impossible to walk away with my heart intact. The ramifications of that week follow me to New York City where, heartbroken but prepared to distract myself by reuniting with my family, Sinclair turns up in the last place I ever expected to find him. My mother's kitchen. I'm faced with an impossible choice. Safeguard my reputation, career, and family by sacrificing the only man I've ever loved. Or follow my heart into the cold, dominating hands of the mysterious Frenchman I shouldn't have but crave with every inch of my soul, condemning those I love to misery as a consequence. *The complete Evolution of Sin Trilogy re-released with bonus content*

But the day I returned to Six Forks and was thrown at his feet, I realized I would never forget how it felt to have every inch of him inside me. ...and he's waiting.
