From grief and loss, like a Phoenix rises from the ashes, he’s built his way to the top of his profession. He can have anything and anyone he wants in life. Except for the one thing he desires most: revenge on the man who killed his sister. Until, that is, a chance meeting brings him face to face with a beautiful and bewitching woman. Desperately in need of legal help, a mistake leads Chloe to Hendrix’s door. He’s fascinated by her at first, but when he finds out her connection to his haunted past, he knows she holds the key to the payback he’s craved for so long. But using Chloe to avenge his sister’s death will mean hurting Chloe, and Hendrix has to weigh up what he wants more: revenge on his enemy, or a ‘happily ever after’ with the woman of his dreams…
