Publisher's Synopsis
This woman may be the key to my salvation, but I'd rather watch my life burn to the ground than let her get close to me.
Ex-military man Kane Hudson thought this would be an easy assignment. He just needs to ensure the feisty first-grade teacher he despises doesn't get herself killed by a notorious mobster set on revenge. The catch? He has to do it without her knowledge.
Olivia Monroe is determined to live her life on her terms. So when the cocky janitor she hates tries to interfere, she refuses to listen until she has no choice but to accept his help.
Stuck in a cabin in the middle of the woods, their hatred shifts into an undeniable attraction that quickly becomes impossible to ignore.
Kane will protect her and allow her to keep his bed warm at night, but he will never trust his heart to someone like her.
They soon discover they are bonded by more than just their intense dislike and fiery attraction.
Kane and Olivia share a tragic secret that will either unite them or tear them apart forever.
