Sometimes the biggest play isn't on the field-it's in the heart. She gave him her innocence-and he walked away. Now he wants a second chance. But can she trust him with her heart a second time? Years after Eli Tucker shattered her heart, Zelda has moved on-or so she tells herself. Hardened by the past and fiercely independent, she's not looking for redemption or romance. But when a twist of fate throws her back into Tuck's orbit, the chemistry between them is just as electric . . . and just as dangerous. He says he's changed, that he's ready to fight for them. But with secrets lurking and pain still raw, Zelda has to decide: is love worth the risk, or is she better off leaving the past behind? Tawdra Kandle writes romance, in just about all its forms. She loves unlikely pairings, strong women, sexy guys, hot love scenes and just enough conflict to make it interesting. Her books run from YA paranormal romance through NA paranormal and contemporary romance to adult contemporary and paramystery romance. She lives in central Florida with a husband, kids, sweet pup and too many cats. And yeah, she rocks purple hair.
