This Is What Happened

In this moving tale of intimacy, redemption, and trust by a New York Times-bestselling author, a woman's new relationship forces her to face her past.For a long time, Elle Kavanaugh has defined herself by her professional success and her unapologetic attitude for the personal choices she's made. She's never wanted intimacy-doesn't need the mess it brings with it. She's been hit on plenty of times, mostly by men who think that what's between their legs makes up for what they lack between their ears. Sometimes, she gives herself over to it-as long as there are no strings attached.But after meeting Dan Stewart, Elle starts wanting things she never has before. And the problem with wanting is that can be like pouring water into a vase full of stones-it fills you up before you know it, leaving no room for anything else . . .Originally published under the title Dirty.
