Getting Even

Rich girl gone bad, poor boy made good. No time like the present to even things out. For book editor Veronica Johnson, it’s sheer hell seeing her ex again. She thought she’d spend a lifetime loving Rafael Velez, but he abandoned her—and now here he is at her best friend’s wedding. How she detests him still! He has an outrageous proposition. It’s foolish, but achingly tempting. Especially if she walks away after without a backward glance, just like he did to her… In college, Rafael Velez ran out on the woman he promised to love forever. His intention? Make himself worthy of her and get her back. But Veronica expected a proposal back then—and after seven years and two failed marriages, the headstrong editor certainly hasn’t waited for him. Rafael has a plan to get over her, and to get a little revenge along the way—nothing like no-holds-barred sex to get unquenched passion out of one’s system. With a scorching bargain struck, an old spark reignites. And as they remember how good they were in bed, long-suppressed feelings arise, too. Soon the flame they thought to douse is burning out of control. Can each learn to trust the person they’d come to hate? After all, aren’t loving and loathing two sides of the same coin? Sexy. Passionate. Bold. Discover Harlequin Dare, a new line of fun, edgy and sexually explicit romances for the fearless female.
