About the Book A new contemporary romance, full of drama, angst and swoon-worthy moments from Australian author, Elle Thorpe. Book Synopsis Reese I made a mistake that might have ruined someones life. Ive moved to Sydney to avoid the glares and the questions from the people back home, but theres one thing I cant run from--the guilt and pain that follows me relentlessly. All I can do is dull it with alcohol and casual sex. But then my new boss, Mr Dark and Delicious, deserted me, mid kiss, with my skirt hiked up and my shirt discarded on the alley floor. I should hate himhim and the secrets hes keeping. But I cant stay away. Because the pain and guilt hes hiding mirror my own. Low All she wanted was one night. That, I could do. Im the king of casual. Love them and leave them, before they leave me. With chemistry off the scale, we couldnt even make it home, both of us too impatient, ripping each others clothes off in the alleyway outside the bar. Then my phone buzzed, and one text message stopped everything. I couldnt think. Couldnt breathe. All I could do was run. Im toxic, but I cant tell her why. I cant bear the look of horror I know would cross her face. But I also dont know how to keep something so life altering from the woman Im falling for. Not when I need her just to survive it.
