In #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel van Dyken''s scorching series, revenge is a justified pleasure... Isla made one teeny little mistake. Now she and her PI company, Dirty Exes, are being targeted by one seriously angry and furiously sexy ex-quarterback. Jessie freakin'' Beckett.

We have everything but each other. It''s not enough. Not when you''ve lost love. And replaced it with the only thing left — hate.
