Only the Beginning, Thorpe Elle

Im the darling of Australian TV. A good-girl actress with a spotless record. Or at least, thats what I let the public believe. But what I do behind closed doors would shock them all. Im a far cry from the girl next door I play on their screens each night.

Riley Clarke knows that better than anyone.

I loved him once, but for the past ten years, all weve done is f**k and fight. Some might say were friends with benefits, but the truth is, we arent even friends. All we are is explosive chemistry and screw-you-senseless sex. He makes me hot. He makes me feel. He makes me reckless.

When scandal rocks my carefully constructed world and my secrets are exposed, its Rileys arms that close around me, protecting me from the storm.

But storms create floods, and a flood can drown you. You and the people you love.
