Having been orphaned at the tender age of 19, Alexa had all but raised her much younger half-brother Pete. Pete had taken his parent's deaths hard, and the only way Alexa had been able to keep the little hellion under any kind of control, was by allowing his equally annoying best friend Damian to practically live at their tiny little cabin in the mountains with them. When Pete finally reached the age of 19, Alexa had gratefully taken off to pursue a life of her own, swearing that she would NEVER saddle herself with a family of her own after raising such an impossible child for nine long years. Six years later, she met and fell for a silver tongued man who convinced her to change her mind. He was everything that she had dreamed of, growing up... Tall, dark and handsome... charming, wealthy and sophisticated... She had been within days of marrying Edward when she found out that he wasn't at all what she believed him to be. He was a liar, a thief and a cheat who had been married twice... His second wife had mysteriously gone missing days after Alexa had met him, and come to find out, he was the top suspect in an ongoing murder investigation for his FIRST wife. Embarrassed and devastated, Alexa all but ran back home to stay with Pete at the cabin to lick her wounds. When she got there, though, she found that Pete didn't live at the cabin alone anymore, as she had thought. He had a roommate... Damian had moved in while she had been away; and he wasn't at all what she remembered him to be. He had grown into a very sexy man with a soft heart... who was relentless in his pursuit of her... but he had a few things in common with Edward that were hard for Alexa to get past... such as that deadly silver tongue... Not to mention their age difference. Too bad, no matter how much she wants to resist the pull she feels towards Damian he seems determined to win her over... for all those years ago, she had been the only woman to get his young blood pumping, and it was no different now. Damian knew what he wanted, and now that Alexa was back, unattached and living in the same house as him, he was going to get it... no matter what.
