What began as a half-baked scheme to help his brother win the man of his dreams has become a tailspin Joss can't escape. His actions and secrets have kept him from making any real claim on the woman who captured his attention years ago.

But secrets have a way of coming to light.

Maddox has known from almost the beginning Joss has been playing games with his life. What he doesn't realize is how deep the man's deception runs. When Cade and Dylan's wedding reception brings everyone together in one place, the entire story is revealed with a little help from Benton.

And Hell hath no fury like a man with nothing left to lose.

The implosion Joss has braced for has finally come to pass, changing everything forever. With Jamie and Hawke in another country, enjoying their happily ever after, Maddox is about to teach Joss a valuable lesson in toying with other people's lives.

What happens when bad decisions, manipulations, good intentions, and misunderstandings combine? It's an Ugly Eternity.
