Chris Ponder was a spitfire, a dynamo with a temper and a tow truck - and Nick Russo wanted to feel her flames erupt beneath him. One sizzling look from Nick's bedroom eyes made Chris's insides turn to tapioca, made her want to flirt with the danger he represented, but what did she need with another handsome charmer who was all flash and no substance? Her ex-husband had kept her dependent, then left her alone to raise his son. Nick was so powerful, so good-looking - why wouldn't he take no for an answer? She didn't belong in his life or in his bed, she was certain of it. Still Nick teased, and she sparked, but she doubted she was woman enough to keep him...until a moonlit night ended with a dance of seduction that filled her with wonder. But trying to keep his beloved safe meant caging a tigress, and Chris rebelled at Nick's protective demands. Could he make her see he yearned not to control her but to cherish the woman he adored?
