When reporter Stacia Howell follows a hot tip to Vegas, she doesn't expect to end up running for her life-or to be scooped out of harm's way by a towering mass of muscle with an icy attitude and a penetrating gaze. Walker runs on two speeds: Intense and Highly Intense. His plane is emblazoned with the name of the mysterious organization she's been investigating-Platinum. And a single touch makes her body buzz with the raw desire to lay herself bare before him. Walker knows Stacia's game. Hell, he invented the game. She's oblivious to the danger she's in. Yet she makes him want to leave his imprint on her skin, and wring sounds of passion from her lips. One night of warm leather and straining chains, and he realizes she is his and his alone. But when he's backed to the edge of a cliff, the only way to keep her safe could be to let her go. Forever.
