Publisher's summary

In New York Times bestselling author Melody Anne’s blazing novel of desire and betrayal, a second chance at love is a hot - and dangerous - proposition.

There was a time when Eden’s entire world revolved around Owen Forbes. They were inseparable childhood sweethearts. They planned a life together. Then, without so much as a goodbye, Owen vanished. Now, after ten years, he’s returned to town as the hottest new firefighter on the force. Whatever secrets pulled them apart, Eden can’t fight the sparks reignited by the man who broke her heart.

Owen knows he did Eden wrong. If only he could tell her why. As body meets body, he’s whispering for a second chance - wanting her back so bad it hurts. It can also be dangerous. An arsonist is targeting the small town of Edmonds, and Eden with it. And it’s Owen himself who’s become engulfed in suspicion.

Eden knows that with a past as hot and mysterious as Owen’s, their future together could go up in flames. Because the one man she’s afraid to trust is the only man she desires - and the only one who can save her.

The book was excellent. Loved the story line. Can't wait for the next one!!! WOW!!!!

Think I would have enjoyed more by reading

Overall, I liked the story. Heartache and true reasoning for the turmoil on both sides, strong supporting characters, strong storyline.

The narration truly made my overall rating lower than I would have liked. Eden is a somewhat naive, good-girl, who is a little emotionally stunted at times, so the voice of this narrator, I felt very much added to what could be conceived as immaturity or even whiny at times, when her character was trying to get stronger. Add to that, the singular narration that was unable to make Owen's character sound as strong and emotional as he is, just took a lot away from the story for me. I had to speed the narration up to complete the book and will likely try reading the next in the series because I'd REALLY like to know Declan's story!

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

A struggle!

If I hadn't read the author's name when I chose this KU read/listen book, I would never have believed it was written by Melody Anne. I have enjoyed many of her books and this is the first one that I almost didn't finish. I've read the first two books in this series, Kian and Arden, and adored the characters and their stories, as well as the backstories involving friends and relatives. These are technically standalones, but there are quite a few holes in the plot for those who haven't read them in order. As for the story, I cannot stand Owen and his pathetic, self-centered reason for leaving her at 17, without a word, never to come back until 10 years later. He tries to make it sound so altruistic when it involves drugs, gangs, murder...stupid! Oh, and once that mess was "cleared up" (overdose) he left for another few years to FIND HIMSELF!" I really should have quit because, from then on, I wanted Eden to find a man who deserved her, not this fool who didn't want people to think he was "defined only by my money!" Oh, yeah, did I mention he left her, never breaking up with her, and had no problem having sex with multiple women while he was gone? Oh, but they didn't mean anything except as a destressor?! Eden struggled the whole book with trusting him, as well she should. I'm sorry I listened to this audiobook because I'm left with such a terrible taste in my mouth.
Kristin Watson Heintz did a good job with the narration. I would have liked to hear a more distinct vocal change between male and female charcters.

🔥❤️🔥❤️

Loved this one! Second chance romance with secrets, hot firefighters, and a deadly mystery. This story is full of remorse, resentment, lots of unchecked lust 😉 and will definitely tug at your heart. The BBEG will be revealed in book 4 🤨🤔

Tugs at your heartstrings

Owen is a flawed man you can't help but fall for, he loves without shame and completely. Eden is a strong woman who has been betrayed by those she has lived the most.

Great Read

Owen: Undercover Billionaire, Book Three was a great read by Melody Anne. Eden and Owen were inseperable childhood sweethearts that planned a life together. Unfortunately their happily ever after never came true when Owen up and vanished. He returned to their hometown ten years later as the newest firefighter. He hopes that he can get a second chance to tell her why he left and how he feels for her. I enjoyed Eden and Owen's story and can't wait to read more by Melody Anne.
