The ruthless protector took her for thirty days, but she claimed his heart forever.
After being imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, former private eye Nick Navarro is hellbent on revenge. Then the one woman he's always burned for—his former best friend's widow—appears suddenly, begging for his protection.
Beautiful widow Sasha Porter is fleeing her late husband’s enemies. Desperate to keep her young daughter alive, she turns to the one man ruthless enough to keep them safe. Nick agrees on one condition: Sasha will be his for thirty days—however he wants her.
Neither is after emotional entanglements, but as they work together to entrap the corrupt politician hunting them, danger closes in—and desire consumes them. With justice finally in reach, Nick must choose between revenge and the woman who’s stolen his heart.
