Shannon Harrison and Adam Hayden are on a collision course. She's a counselor encouraging his young, unmarried, and pregnant daughter to follow her heart and refuse to marry a man she doesn't love. He is a father determined that his only child will not be an unwed mother.

Shannon, a confident, full-figured black woman, is dismayed to find herself irresistibly attracted to the handsome, blue-eyed Adam Hayden. She soon learns that Adam shares her attraction. When Adam refuses to see reason, Shannon undertakes a course of seduction, which she hopes will end with Adam agreeing to let Dana make her own life choices.

Shannon is unaware that Adam, finding himself unable to resist her charms, has also decided to try his hand at seduction. He's certain that after a little romance and a couple of one-night stands, Shannon will see things his way and will join him in insisting Dana cannot be an unwed mother.

Before long, Shannon's and Adam's passion for each other threatens to burn out of control, incinerating everything in its wake. If they don't watch out, they will find playing with fire can have life-changing consequences.

Note: This book was previously released under the title Better the Second Time.
