Publisher's Synopsis
Under the name of Spice, she was the biggest thing in X-rated films. Under the name of Liz Carter, she's now kicked her deadbeat boyfriend, her career, and Los Angeles to the curb. After surviving cancer, Liz is back in her native New York City, launching a new life as a graphic designer and single mother to a young son. Relationship-wise, she's staying solo and loving it. Plus, she has everything she needs in the group known as FATE, whose members offer each other empathy and support when it comes to overcoming an "exploitable" past. But then someone new joins?a former male stripper with a sexy Irish brogue who has Liz reconsidering her future, and feeling attractive for the first time since her diagnosis. Sean O'Malley now runs an afterschool program for kids. He likes what he's found in FATE?and what he sees in its sharp and stimulating leader. But Sean has a bigger secret than he's letting on. There's a part of his past he's not ready to share with anyone. And the harder he falls for Liz, the more he fears that coming clean could break the heart of the woman he loves.
