::: ABOUT THE BOOK :::

She’s healing from a broken heart. He’s healing from a broken past.

​

Rocío Fontana has spent her career winning in court, but her personal life just hit rock bottom. Newly divorced and jaded, the brilliant divorce lawyer watched her marriage go down in flames, and now she’s ready to use that heat to reawaken her dormant desires. Determined to revive the vibrant, sexual woman buried under years of betrayal, she seeks out a spark to remind her what it feels like to be wanted. What was supposed to be a single, no-strings-attached night in Miami becomes a sensory awakening she never saw coming.

​

Reggaeton superstar, Xavier Delgado, is a man on the mend. After a downward spiral of addiction nearly cost him his throne, he’s finally clean, back in the studio, and planning his comeback tour. But he hasn't been able to find his rhythm since the night he met a woman who walked out of his bed and vanished into the Miami night. He thought he was done with the cravings but finds himself addicted to the memory of the one woman who didn't want his fame, just his fire.

​

When their worlds collide, Rocío realizes her “rebound” is a global icon ten years her junior. At forty-one, she’s learning to trust herself again, but can she trust a man who lives in a world of screaming fans and constant temptation? One night changed everything. Will their connection be a fleeting rhythm or a song that’s meant to last forever?
