She won't let him in.

Psychologist Mia Ramos is over dating—especially players like the tall, dark and sexy Asher. He's all wrong for her, and getting involved with him will only end in heartbreak. Yet she can't stop wanting him, and every time he shows her another glimpse of the real man beneath the slick front he shows the rest of the world, it hooks her more. She's determined to keep her distance—until disaster hits. Everything changes in an instant, forcing her to rely on the man who tempts her to break her own rules. A ruthless killer wants her dead, and Asher is the only one who can save her.

He can't let her go.

Air National Guard Pararescueman Asher "Groz" Grozinski knows all about keeping secrets, and he can tell that sexy, confident Mia has some of her own. She also seems completely unaffected by him, which delivers a swift kick to his ego—and intrigues him more. What starts out as a challenge soon turns into something so deep and intense, he can't walk away. Because beneath that aloof exterior she has a bigger heart than anyone he's ever met. Now he's in uncharted territory, falling hard for the first time in his life and ready to do whatever it takes to claim her for his own. So when an unseen killer strikes, he'll risk everything to protect the only woman he's ever given his heart to.
