About this audiobook

Ruby Turner was never meant to be mine. When I first met her she was a fresh, young American sports journalist trying to find her footing in a new life abroad. She was the one interviewing me for an article, yet I wanted to know more about her. She captivated me. But she went home with Marco that night. My agent. My brother. And I did what I could to pretend I was fine with it. After all, I'm Luciano Ribeiro. As the captain of Real Madrid, and Portugal's National Team, it's my job to be cool, calm, and collected, not easily rattled. Only what I felt for Ruby over time, shook me to my very core. It made me do things I never imagined I would do. It started with a stolen kiss in the middle of the night. It led to a passionate tryst. It created a burden of guilt that I had to carry, as Ruby came in and out of my life until she left for good, leaving her mark on me. Now, seven years later, she's back. She was the one that got away. I don't think I'll let her go this time. But I might not have a choice. Because my heart still belongs to her. And her heart might belong to my brother. Contains mature themes.

About the author

Karina Halle is a former travel writer, music journalist, and screenwriter, and the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author of over sixty novels. She lives in Los Angeles and on an island off the coast of British Columbia with her husband, and her adopted pitbull Bruce.

A native of New Orleans, Jeremy York grew up playing music and singing long into the early morning. When a multi-band tour spirited him from the French Quarter across the country, he knew that he'd found home when he arrived in Venice, California. Always after a good story, he put his voice to work narrating audiobooks.

Samantha Cook is a child of two lands: England and America. Her English-born father was a classically trained actor and her mother an American ballet dancer. When she isn't at home in Los Angeles narrating, Samantha is sipping espresso in cafes in the most exotic cities in the world, from Paris to Rio to Sydney and beyond.
