In bed or out of bed, it's worth breaking all the rules for her. For many years, the pain of shattered dreams has haunted Gypsy Grey. Now, she hopes to spend a week at her friends' house on Shaw Island to attend the yearly fair with her daughter, Nika. But her plan changes when she learns that her ex-lover, Nolan Keats, and his friends will be sharing the house with them. However, Gypsy begins to enjoy Nolan's company, which again turns into fierce possessiveness and a fiery touch. When Nolan proposes that they not talk about the past or future and only live for the present, Gypsy also decides to hide the truth from him. He's no longer single. Telling him about Nika doesn't matter anymore. Once their temporary affair is over, she's unsure if she'll be able to survive living with another shattered dream. Years of running from his hurtful past finally catches up to Nolan-unexpectedly. He's supposed to celebrate his last remaining bachelor days with the Blue-Eyed Four, but upon seeing the beautiful, spirited woman he once promised to love eternally, he begins to burn for her again. This time hotter and deeper than the last. Worse, he realizes that he's never really stopped loving her. Like fever flowing in his blood, he must possess her. She's now a mother to a blue-eyed daughter he wishes belonged to him. On beautiful Shaw Island, Nolan and Gypsy boldly ignore their present situation for a blazing, forbidden passion. More than anything, he wants her back in his life. But for that to happen it will hurt another.
