Juliet Carson hasn't been in a relationship in over ten years. She is her own woman--successful, powerful, and doesn't need anything she can't provide for herself. Wine flows freely, money comes easy, and men are disposable. Juliet always gets what she wants and her life is under her own complete and total control.
Until a one-night stand unexpectedly strips her emotionally, breaking her down and causing her to revisit herself in ways she had long chosen to forget about. She surrenders everything she believes in to a pair of blue eyes and comforting arms, spending what is most likely the best night of her life in her own bed with a man whose brother she had attempted to seduce just hours before.
However, when she wakes up alone the next morning, her one night of passion and magic are a thing of the past and a memory she's desperate to store with the rest of her skeletons. Her outlook on men and relationships, cold and negative as ever, are firmly renewed, and the shame she feels for herself for her emotional indiscretions are now at the forefront of her newfound fury.
Finding comfort in her design firm and her best friend prove easily futile as the blue eyes continue to haunt her. "Scream and be free," the soft voice chants in her memory. "Scream and be free."
