While her love life remains non-existent, the light of her life is her eight-year-old son, Gavin. Everything changed for them when one of her books was made into a movie, affording her the opportunity to write full-time. But she can't help but feel like something, or more likely someone, is still missing. Army Green Beret Veteran Thomas Wade uses his skills as a bodyguard for hire at his brother’s firm—Sunset Security. Because of his line of work, relationships have never been his thing. Bringing random women home was enough, until the night he meets a sexy stranger in a hotel bar. It turns out these two have more in common than being lonely. From chemistry to catastrophe, everything falls apart before it can begin. Just when they thought they would never see each other again, they find themselves in an untenable situation. Thomas will risk his life to save Simone, but it could cost them both their hearts.
