Hidden Agendas — Sandy Loyd

She stomped on his heart once. Only a fool would let her do it again. Yet, a lady in need is irresistible, even to someone as jaded as Eric Coleman, the sexiest and most charming of the DC BADBOYS. This time around he's more than cautious about getting involved with Simone Harris. Considering his darkest secret, he doesn't see how she'll view him any differently than she did back in high school -- not good enough to date. Single mom, Simone, has a different vantage point after twelve years of going it alone. Harboring her own secrets, she also has a sense of unworthiness. Eric is definitely deserving of a second chance, especially after he protects her and her daughter when a suspected stalker threatens their peace of mind. As the stalker closes in, Simone looks to her own past to discover not only his motive, but his deadly intent.
