Dr. Sophie Gable wasn't expecting the peace of her private getaway to be shattered by the arrival of a half-dazed, dead-sexy guest. Thomas Nicasio has obviously been traumatised, and Sophie thinks she knows by what. There's something about Thomas's father that he can't - or won't - remember. Something that could get them both killed. Still, she can't resist Thomas's electrifying seduction...or her instincts to help him... An ex-Navy explosives specialist, Thomas has never felt this type of volatile need for a woman. Even while he's grieving the deaths of his brother and nephew, something about Sophie makes Thomas want to overtake her... and each time he does, her willing submission makes him want her all the more. But danger is lurking close by, and if he can't face the demons of his past, both he and Sophie could be the next victims in a pattern of meaningless violence...
