Former Navy SEAL Sam Reston keeps to himself. His world is
dangerous, uncertain, violent...and there is no room in it
for the helpless and weak. Then the most beautiful woman in
the world moves in next door to him . . . .
Nicole Pearce's
life is complicated enough—with an ailing father and a new
business to worry about—and the last thing she needs is to
get involved with a secretive, hard-bodied, hardheaded
neighbor. Yet Sam leaves her breathless—her body tingling
with erotic desire—and it takes every ounce of her fabled
control to resist offering herself to him, no strings
attached. What she doesn't know is that Sam Reston is on an
undercover assignment . . . and she's about to step into the
crossfire.
Never has Sam ached for a woman so badly, and
he's never fallen in love before. Now that Nicole is in
grave danger, he will become her shield, and guard the
tempting body he longs to touch and taste. Because a
terrorist plot hatched half a world away is heading to their
doorstep—and it can only be derailed by one man and one woman.
