I left a world of privilege to prove I can make my own way, first as a Navy SEAL, now as a business owner. Money, mansions, expensive cars—none of it could heal the loss of my older brother or buy my parents' love. Now, after using my trust fund to open the Conquistadors tequila bar with my brothers-in-arms, I have it all: good friends, fine liquor, and hot hookups. When it comes to women, commitment's not my thing—until I get a taste of the pretty professor who walks into my bar . . . and winds up in my bed.

I know all too well that emotional decisions can lead to heartbreak, and nothing screams "bad decision" like a playboy bartender with inked biceps and a wicked smile. Still, our chemistry is off-the-charts explosive—and I know chemistry. For once, this good girl longs to let loose and have a fling. But am I willing to risk the pain to quench my thirst? With the promise of more on the table, I'm eager to believe . . . before I miss my shot.
