Publisher's Synopsis
When a bomb landed on Autumn Callahan's doorstep, she found her dream had turned into a nightmare. The veterinarian had built her practice from the ground up and established a dedicated clientele-something that provoked an enemy into targeting her. Fearing for his daughter's life, her father appoints Jackson Cooper to protect her. He was a man with a past and the last man she expected-or wanted-to keep her safe. Jackson Cooper never thought his best friend's annoying little sister would have blossomed into such an alluring woman. He broke her heart nearly fourteen years ago, but that wouldn't prevent him from keeping her safe now. The domineering man always got what he wanted. She could hate him, but he'd do whatever was necessary to keep her alive. The longer they remained together, the more difficult it became to deny the hidden desires they felt for one another. Someone wanted to eliminate Autumn and her business, but Jackson vowed to not let that happen. He came back into her life for a reason, and this time, it wouldn't be so easy for either of them to walk away.
