Disillusioned P.I. Davy McCloud has learned the hard way not to follow blind impulse when it comes to women. He’d rather play it safe, and keep his life simple, calm, and uncomplicated. But he’s prepared to make an exception when Margo Vetter shows up to teach at the gym next door. The luscious, mysterious woman stirs a hunger he hasn’t felt in a long time as well as a fierce protectiveness he can’t quite explain, especially when her background check reveals she’s hiding secrets—secrets of the ugly, deadly kind.

Margot is at the end of her rope. It’s bad enough that she’s broke and on the run, framed for a murder she didn’t commit. Now, she’s being terrorized by a malevolent stalker. The only person she dares to turn to is buff, scarily gorgeous Davy McCloud, a man who seems like nothing on earth could intimidate him. But Davy has questions of his own, and the closer she gets to him, the more Margot discovers that she can’t hold herself back from this enigmatic, sensual man in any way.

Neither of them expected passion to flare this quickly—or to drag them into a danger as real as their love. Margot’s past has finally caught up with her. And for Davy McCloud, life is about to get more than complicated…it’s turning deadly…
