Holding Her Close — Allyson Lindt

Zach is haunted by ex-girlfriends. The day his fiancée dumped him, she also sold her shares of his multi-billion dollar corporation. On top of that, the girl who broke his heart in high school--the only woman he's never been able to forget--is back in his life. She's filling his business partner's head with delusions of recovering from the hostile takeover, and haunting Zach's most vivid fantasies. But Zach's got a plan to solve half the problem: one night with her, and he can put the past behind him.

It's been years since Rae talked to her high school sweetheart. But her best friend is his business partner, and running in the same circles has caught up to her. Rae is seeing Zach everywhere, including her explicit, rampant imagination. When he proposes a single night together for closure, she hopes it will be just what she needs to move on.

The past and the present intertwine as "Just this once" becomes "Just one more time." When Rae discovers the solution to Zach's business problems the entire situation becomes one giant knot. Can he trust her enough to risk his heart and livelihood a second time, or will experience convince him to walk away from everything?
