A man running from his past meets the woman he'd do anything to protect in this sizzling classic from New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter! Previously published as The Closer You Come.
Tortured by a troubled past, ex-con Jase Hollister is looking to start over in a small town. The rugged bachelor suffering from PTSD longs for peace and quiet, always keeping women at a distance-and his heart encased in stone.
Brook Lynn Dillon is a down on her luck waitress determined to avoid the man every woman in town wants-including her sister. The last thing she needs is his kind of trouble. But his every glance makes her burn...and her resistance is melting fast.
The two agree to a one-time fling, not expecting their connection to be so strong. Now, no matter how hard they try, they can't keep their hands off each other. But when a secret from Jase's past comes to light, they'll have to face a cold, hard truth: it's more than Jase's freedom on the line, it's their hearts.
