The Last Promise — Sydney Bristow

Damon Durant is not your average bad boy; sure, he has a wicked smile, an unpredictable nature, and exudes more than a hint of danger, but after growing up shuffled from one dysfunctional foster family to another, he's learned that love is hard to come by. So when he flirts with a cute restaurateur, he can't help but think that he's finally found the one.

When it comes to romance, Kelsey Lawford has always trusted her heart, and it has led to more than a bit of heartache and regret. So when she banters with Damon, a man whose blistering sex appeal leaves her breathless, Kelsey ignores her feelings. Because her past has taught that men like Damon can't be trusted. Even though she desperately wants to trust the longing he evokes inside her, will it be enough to convince her to trust a man that everyone says can't be trusted?
