One stolen night was supposed to be enough—until the only woman he can't have becomes the only one he craves.
The mysterious “lady in red” who appeared at his Manhattan apartment inflamed his senses and ignited his passion, but John Harlan's new lover was the very woman he could never possess: his ex-fiancé's twin sister, Scarlet Elliott.
After months of a chaste, orderly courtship, one taste of Scarlet shattered John's every vow of restraint. When her twin departed on an international tour, they struck a reckless bargain—a private month of secret encounters to indulge their hunger before walking away forever.
Scarlet had loved John from afar for years…and one night she succumbed to her urges and made her way into John's bed. But could their relationship ever be more than a forbidden affair?
