Heartbreaker. Joanne Rock

      

      From passion to betrayal

      and back again...

      He knows she’s coming for him...

      And he’s ready to turn the tables!

      When tabloid columnist Elena Rollins shows up uninvited to a private, star-studded party at Mesa Falls, Gage Striker sees red. Though it’s been six years since their abrupt breakup, the scars—and attraction—are still fresh. Certain his ex has a score to settle, the playboy banker vows to protect his ranch’s scandalous secrets. Protecting his heart is a different story.
