Nathalyia Fontaine's husband died four years ago and now she is the sole proprietor of his restaurant/bar, Fontaine. She hasn't dated anyone in all those years, choosing not to open her heart or possibly reveal her dark past again. That is, until she meets Rafael Dunlap. Rafael is a hostage negotiator with his own issues. Though he loves women, he vows he'll never marry. His job is too unpredictable. But his thinking and game plan of loving and leaving changes when he meets Nathalyia. When the unexpected happens, Nathalyia ends things with Rafael before he can break her heart. But when Rafael is in harms way, will Nathalyia resolve to tell him the truth before it's too late? Or will past demons keep them apart forever?

Excerpt
Rafael glanced around. Air stalled in his lungs. The owner of Fontaine restaurant was stunning. She laughed softly. Even with the noise of the crowded bar Rafael heard the alluring sound. He decided then and there he’d hear it again…while they were in bed.
“Welcome to Fontaine, gentlemen,” Nathalyia Fontaine greeted. “Is the food and the service to your satisfaction?”
“I have a problem,” Rafael said, waiting for her to face him. When she did, his pulse hammered, but nothing showed on his face. He wasn’t a cop for nothing.
