No stranger to death and heartbreak, Alex is a woman who knows that life can change in the blink of an eye. She also knows that love is something you fight for even when the timing is way less than perfect. Alex has lost her husband and has been moved to an unfamiliar city in the middle of the night in nothing but her pajamas. She is being hunted by an unknown assailant. The only person she has left in the world is her husband's best friend and PI, Pedro. Until she meets a man that makes her feel things she didn't know existed outside the pages of a book. Witness Protection Agent, Mac Rogers, is one of the few people that know who Pedro really is, and now Pedro has called for his help. Pedro never needs help. Mac knows that whatever it is, it must be important, but when he lays eyes on Alex he is not sure whether he is the best man for the job. Pedro has known Mac since he was a child, and Mac is the only person Pedro will trust to protect Alex. Aware of Alex's striking looks, Pedro is a little concerned, but he knows Mac will always do the right thing. Author's Note: This is a fast-paced love story. Alex is a nurse who deals with death everyday. Her healthy, vibrant parents were killed in a car accident and her husband was just shot as he was sleeping. She knows that no one is guaranteed a tomorrow. Sometimes life throws things at us that we wish would come at a different time - whether it be five years ago or two years down the road.
