Loving Lilly

Diego Ortiz has too many demons to fight, so he would never even consider taking on a relationship at this point in his life. But when socialite and former model Lilly Carmichael needs rescued in the midst of a glittering crowd of people, he's right there, ready to fight for her. The tension between them is something he's never felt with any other woman, and he fights against her pull. Proximity forces him to acknowledge that he needs to be with her and when they finally give in, it's a revelation to them both.

Lilly Carmichael sees the real man Diego is, though he tries to discourage her. Angry and secluded he tries to shove her away, but she hopes that if she's persistent enough, he'll bend. And he doesn't seem to be protesting as hard as he used to be…

As she's thrust into a situation she has to fight against, he's right there supporting her, being the man that she had always hoped for.
