Janna thought she knew what love was until she buried the only man who ever truly understood her, but three years of mourning have awakened hungers that her late billionaire husband Joel could never satisfy despite giving her everything money could buy. Her carefully controlled exterior hides a woman desperate for emotional intensity and passionate surrender that went far beyond Joel's gentle devotion, cravings that make her feel guilty for wanting more than the perfect life he provided. When she finally decides to explore the desires she's kept buried since his death, she never expects to find herself caught between Rowan, Joel's business partner who's loved her in silence for over a decade, and a mysterious stranger whose dangerous charm promises to fulfill every dark fantasy she's never dared voice. But Rowan isn't the patient friend she thought she knew, his years of watching her marry another man have transformed his quiet devotion into obsessive need, and he's willing to destroy anyone who threatens his chance to finally claim the woman he's convinced belongs to him by right of suffering. Janna's journey to reclaim her sexuality becomes a psychological battleground where love and obsession blur together, where the men who claim to want her happiness are willing to manipulate her vulnerability for their own ends. Between corporate espionage that threatens Joel's legacy and family secrets that could destroy her reputation, Janna must navigate a world where her dead husband's influence still controls her choices and her living admirers see her as prize to be won rather than woman to be cherished. In a game where emotional manipulation masquerades as protection and passionate love hides possessive control, can Janna find the strength to choose her own destiny, or will the men who claim to love her consume what's left of her identity in their war for her heart?
