This is no meet cute. It’s meet brute. My day starts perfectly. I'm offered my dream job – manager at the largest independent bookstore in the country. Lame? Not to a bookworm like me. But then my perfect day turns into a nightmare. I’m kidnapped by Russian gangsters. Turns out my family has a debt, and I'm the collateral. I'm trapped, bound and blindfolded, scared senseless and wondering if I'll make it out alive. Then I get kidnapped...again. Only this time my kidnapper is the bodyguard I never knew I had. A six-foot-four mountain of muscle and danger named Hammer. Hammer’s an ex-Marine, a biker, much older than me, and has a chiseled jaw and stormy blue eyes. He steals me away to a remote cabin in the woods. He says it’s for my protection. But even a girl like me can sense there's something more. There’s not just sparks between us – there’s enough heat for a forest fire. And I can't ignore that there's only one bed in this cabin. My bossy bodyguard says he’s only keeping me prisoner until the danger’s passed. But his eyes tell me it’s forever. And though he’ll keep my body safe, who will protect my heart?
