About this ebook
A widow and her son, shaken in a harrowing robbery, end up in the protective arms of a rugged police captain guarding his own wounded heart.
Their lives spared and nerves shattered in a harrowing robbery, fiercely independent widow Kate Middleton and her young son are rescued by Luke Hickson, a ruggedly handsome police captain still reeling from a calamity of his own.
In Portsmouth, Kate pours her energy into running her friendly bookstore. When Luke welcomes Randy into the Police Athletic League, his firm guidance reassures her. Both vow to ignore, let alone indulge, the powerful pull drawing them toward each other.
Each struggles to resist, far less surrender to, the tender comfort taking hold between them. Yet through quiet moments along the Albemarle Sound, his steady presence slowly disarms her defenses.
Neither Kate nor Luke expects, much less welcomes, the instant spark of attraction. But when trouble strikes again, Kate realizes there’s only one place she feels safe--in Luke’s strong embrace...
