Eric Davis had to become a man at a very young age when a car accident left his father disabled. He became a mechanic to get the bills paid. He never dreamed taking a job for the state could end up with him standing in front of the most gorgeous woman he had ever laid eyes on. The heat between them was too much to deny, but it was a new job. They wouldn't take too kindly to him "doing" the secretary in the break room. But he couldn't just forget the way he felt when he looked at her, could he? Even if he could make her his, would she be willing to take the task of dealing with his past and the responsibilities of taking care of his untrusting father, or will Cassandra's good heart lead to more chaos than she is willing to endure?
