Vivacious and successful, Ava Meyers is living her dream life, except for one thing: ever since childhood, she's been in love with her best friend...and she's never admitted it. Back then, Sam Farrow was a damaged young man with a tough past. Now he's supremely confident, super sexy, and totally untouchable-until the night when he pretends to be her boyfriend to save her from some unwanted attention. In a moment of weakness, she finds out that a decades-long friendship is no match for blistering sexual chemistry.

After years of denying his own feelings, Sam finds that one amazing night with Ava isn't enough to chase away all the pent-up fantasies. So he proposes they spend a few weeks driving each other wild, exhausting their every desire, and then return to their perfect platonic relationship like nothing ever happened. But his plan has one fatal flaw: the part where they give each other up. Because the more they let go of their inhibitions, the more they're tempted to never go back.
