There's
safety in solitude isn't there?
Single dad and best-selling thriller writer Ethan James has no problem being Templeton Cove's most famous recluse until a surprise visit from the past plunges him into a real-life crime drama just as feisty nurse Leah Dixon barges her way into his world.
Ethan's first priority is to protect his daughter. His second priority is to keep Leah out of this dark web and that means out of his bed. Except Leah isn't going anywhere; she's afraid little Daisy is in danger.

Ethan
couldn't live with himself if anything happened to Leah but pushing her away
may be even harder!
Excerpt #3
He stared into her eyes.
He had to kiss her, had to see if she tasted as good as she smelled. “Leah…”
“Just kiss me already.”
She smiled and leaned toward him, her mouth hovering just centimeters from his.
“I know you want to. I can see it in those beautiful eyes of yours.”
He pulled her closer and
kissed her. She lightly moaned before gently easing her tongue to his and Ethan
kissed her deeper, harder, sliding his hands to her waist. She lifted from the
couch and slid onto in his lap. He wound his hands into the silky, soft hair at
the nape of her neck and she dug the fingers of one hand into his shoulder, the
other gripping his upper arm.
Deep desire rippled
through his body as arousal burned, the stirring of his erection pressing
against the confines of his jeans.
He drew back and released
a slow breath, their gazes locked as she exhaled a shaky breath and slipped
from his lap onto the couch. “Well, there won’t be any going back from a kiss
like that anytime soon.”
“So it’s not just me who
is kind of scared then?”
“Scared?” She shook her
head and reached for her wineglass. “It will take lot more than a kiss like
that to scare me.”
Daisy murmured and shifted
in her sleep and Ethan snapped his gaze to the couch, his body on his alert and
guilt slipping into its familiar place. “God, if she’d seen us…”
“She didn’t.” She slid
her hand onto his thigh and leaned back against the couch. “Let’s just take one
day at a time. We’ve shared dinner and a kiss. We’re not getting married and
we’re not bound by blood.” She smiled, her gaze happy. “Who knows what might
happen tomorrow? Let’s just enjoy our time together. Okay?”
He faced her as
trepidation over the huge possibility of what tomorrow might bring whispered
through him.
