Between her job as professional harpist and fending off an ex-boyfriend who won't take the hint, Marly feels like a circus juggler. She doesn't need some oversized, overzealous security guard accusing her of being a terrorist-as if a five-foot-nothing woman in a ball gown could threaten anyone. Though when the real terrorists strike, she's more than grateful to have Bull at her side...or on top, which certainly makes what could be her last breaths memorable. But after Bull takes the brunt of the explosion, Marly is left with feelings for a man who doesn't remember who she is. And by the time the red-hot memories come flooding back, the trail to her heart may have gone cold.
