Publisher Description

Ruthless might as well be Gray Bennett’s middle name. When the renowned Washington, D.C., insider talks, powerful people listen. But Gray hasn’t come home to Saranac Lake to play politics. Or play at all. A tragedy has shaken the unshakable Gray Bennett to his hardened core.

And so has the most unlikely of women.

The mousy redhead who used to run around the Moorehouse B and B — the one he never noticed — is now all fiery hair and lush curves. But sweet Joy Moorehouse is too innocent for a cynic like him. So Gray won’t let himself lay a hand on her…until the night he can no longer resist the woman she has become. That’s when he discovers a secret that leaves him gasping for breath — and wanting more.

“[A] sumptuous mix of danger and romance.” - Booklist on Crave

"Older rereleased novels by authors I love (like J.R. Ward) often disappoint so I went into this one with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The hero had issues, but the intensity of both Gray and Joy's emotions pulled me in to the point where I read the whole book in one evening."

    " The Jessica Bird books are a great read. There isn't a fabulous plot or something that just stands out to me but the characters are all relatable and JR Ward is a great author. This romance has just the right amount of sex and passion without being cheesy or pornographic. "

    " The first 50 pages were dullingly familiar, boring and predictable. I was able to just give up, then I became hooked. And it made me laugh, and tear up. So I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 3. Loved the character development (after the first bit anyway.) "

    " I liked Grayson A LOT! But there were times I wanted to slap him. He just didn't seem to get it...and when he did it was ALMOST too late. I enjoyed this story and look forward to many more from "Jessica Bird". :) "

    " You know it was kind of nice to see the man, being a wishy washy personality. Yes he had relationship issues, trust issues and mommy issues. But with reason on mommy issues. Good book. "
