I didn’t want him to protect me. I’m a cop, for goodness’ sake—I can handle myself. But he’s adamant. And he’s my boss—the Chief of Police, Ryan Keller. I can handle crazy ex-boyfriends, even when they happen to be his brother. But he wants me close. Too close. “Move in with me,” he says. “It’ll keep you safe.” I don’t want him to be right. I don’t want to feel excited when he looks at me, undressing me with his eyes. I don’t want to make things easy on him. But when he touches me, my tough-as-nails cop act melts away, and I’m utterly powerless against him.
