Publisher Description
A rising star with everything to lose.
As Hollywood's newest darling, Becca Sandoza is vigilant about guarding the image and reputation she's so carefully created. Her career has allowed her to escape her past, but her newfound fame turns out to be a sharp double-edged sword. The nightmare she's been trying to escape for twenty years has resurfaced. The man responsible knows all her secrets, and his silence comes at a heavy price. She'll do whatever it takes to keep the past buried and protect the person she cares about most. But when it seems like she's trapped with no way out, Becca finally turns to the one man she can trust—the one man capable of making her body burn and her heart ache with a yearning she's never felt before.
The only man who can protect her.
Chase Davenport took everything he learned as a Marine Corps combat veteran and is now a sought-after stuntman. Hollywood is every bit as competitive and unpredictable as he expected, but the biggest surprise so far is Becca Sandoza. She's got a reputation as an ice queen with the media, but it's clear to him that's only a mask she puts on to protect herself. Behind the scenes she's down to earth, kind, and just being around her brings out all his protective instincts. So when she comes to him for help with a dangerous situation, he steps up. She might be totally out of his league, but the more time they spend together, it quickly becomes clear there's more between them than scorching chemistry. And when the threat suddenly escalates with no warning, Chase will do anything to save her—no matter the cost.
