I should have known I’d break the promise I made when I found her stranded in a blizzard…

Feisty as hell and the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.
With the cutest kid and her grandmother in tow, she’s completely off limits.

I don't get involved with women like that.
I learned long ago that I don't have the ability to love.
My life is sordid and danger is always hiding in the shadows.

Only I can’t turn my back on them when I realize she’s in trouble, and I insist on them staying in a cabin at the motel I own.

As penance for my sins, I promised my life to protecting others.

Except she becomes so much more.A need I don’t recognize. A desperation that burns beneath my flesh.

One kiss, and I’m falling for her.
One touch, and I’m at her feet.

But when my dark past comes back to haunt me, I’m in a race against time to save the only woman I’ve ever loved. 

Only it may be the demons that have been chasing her that destroy what we built…
