Orphaned at a young age, Dante Stone learned not to get attached, and found a way to protect himself. When a routine mission goes south, an injured Stone crosses paths with a woman that has him breaking that rule. As a doctor, Lucy Bishop has treated many patients, but none have caused a reaction like the grouchy soldier. She can see through his shield and scars and soon falls hopelessly in love with the man he is underneath it all. Unfortunately, a past like his is bound to return with a vengeance, and when it does, it once again threatens to destroy what matters most. Warning: Sweet, sexy and safe read! Happily ever after guaranteed! This author writes what she likes to read. That means there will be instalove, OTT Heroes, and, brace yourselves, virgin characters at times. If none of those float your boat, you might want to find another book. If they do, you're in the right place.
