Just home from war, Mac McDonough is in a world of hurt only a woman can cure. Her jealous stalker doesn't stand a chance... Fresh from war, "Mac" McDonough wants just two things: whiskey to drown the pain in his damaged leg and a woman. But one look into Suki Reese's haunted eyes, and he knows she needs the kind of muscle only an ex-soldier can provide. Mac's brooding gaze and hard body leave Suki Reece breathless and disturbed. The rugged ex-soldier won't listen to a word she says until Suki distracts him with a sexy striptease. That gets his attention. Suki may have gotten the upper hand, but Mac is going to be on top.
