Justice Cooper abandoned his professional hockey career to put family first. Now divorced with a young son, he has no time to indulge the chemistry sparking with a brainy and beautiful academic. Especially with a vicious stalker wreaking havoc on his campus.
Professor Charlotte Girardet is focused on one thing-earning tenure at a prestigious university. She'll do anything to keep her career on track, which includes ignoring her unwanted attraction to the rough and rugged security guard who insists on protecting her.
Struggling to balance her ambitions and a growing passion, Charlotte trusts Justice with her deepest secret, and discovers she's not the only one haunted by the past. But their uncertain future becomes even more precarious when the assailant strikes much too close to home.
