Strong, independent Torie Bradshaw doesn't like playing the damsel in distress, but when a stalker's sadistic threats finally frighten her into running, she knows of only one hero to call on for help: Matt Callahan. The sinfully sexy spy had saved her once before. Surely he'll play her champion again. If only they hadn't parted under such...unfortunate circumstances.
Matt has barely recovered from the last time he tangled with Torie. When she invades his private sanctuary bringing danger, drama, and a designer dog with her, he wants nothing more than to send the beauty packing. He's busy battling old ghosts and more recent wounds. But Matt can't deny his protective instincts or the fact that this troublesome woman has gotten under his skin. So when a killer comes to call, Matt faces a startling reality - he's about to lose all the things he never thought he wanted.
