Marissa Farrell had it all, and nearly lost everything with a single devastating diagnosis—breast cancer.

Many difficult months later, she wants to celebrate her triumph over the disease by losing herself in her husband’s arms. Massive self-doubt since her surgeries, however, makes it impossible for Marissa to share her body with Jason. She knows it’s only a matter of time before she loses him to a woman who hasn’t been stitched together like a patchwork doll.

But Jason wants—needs—his wife back. When other methods to prove his desire fail, desperation prompts Jason to book an appointment at La Maison, an exclusive adults-only club that caters to sexual fantasies. Making love in a room of mirrors, with an audience, might help Marissa see her body as Jason does—beautiful in every way.

If the bold plan doesn’t shatter what’s left of her self-confidence and destroy their marriage for good.

Donovan Armstrong thinks his latest assignment is just another security gig, guarding priceless paintings. Boring stuff for a wolf shifter, but he plans to return home to Canada as soon as he finds a suitable mate, the kind of shifter female who’ll stun his pack with her perfection.

Donovan’s job is simple—protect Roxi from overzealous gallery visitors. But who’s going to protect her from him?
