Then her nemesis—and one-time crush—Wade Sorenson stepped in and insisted on keeping them both safe. She had had no intention of relying on the man she blamed for shattering her family…until someone came after her little boy. Kerri soon found the safest place was in Wade's arms—which scared her more than any elusive criminal ever could. And made her realize how much she still had to lose.
