I've spent the last several years building my company, having zero time for a social life. I preferred it that way. After the mess my ex-wife left me with, I have no interest in anything remotely close to a relationship. Until I meet my daughter's new next-door neighbor. Harley is kind, beautiful, and she's also an erotic romance writer. To any man, she's the perfect package. To a gun-shy man like me, she's a one-way road to disaster. Unfortunately for me, my daughter's newfound friendship with Harley means I get to see more of her. And the more I see her, the more I want her. But my instincts are telling me there's a danger lurking around her, following her, waiting for the right moment to strike. And the closer I get, the more I realize there's only one way I'll allow any threat to get near her... and that's over my dead body.
