DK McGiven's dreams are close to coming true. Finally coming into her own as a fine artist, she melts metal to her wishes and creates sculptures that have her fans clamoring for more. Only one thing is holding her back from completing her current masterpiece: her own insecurity in the passion department. Her girl tribe's suggestion? Find a sexy guy and learn what she's been missing-without engaging her heart of course. Worldly and willing Vince Cassidy seems to fit the bill. Bored with his successful writer's life, he heads to the mountains for some entertaining distractions. He's happy with the friends-with-benefits perks DK offers. Maybe a little fling with a local artist will be just what the doctor ordered. But for these two hungry hearts, love has a way of wearing away resistance. Now Vince wonders who the woman he calls "Red" really is-a siren or an innocent. And he's falling for her either way. Trapped together in their agreement to stay passionate but detached, can they weld something new out of their deeper feelings? When keeping things simple is impossible, sometimes love is the flash of fire that results.
