To celebrate a successful bust, Detective Pete Putnam agrees to hit the bars with his partner. He never expected to meet the woman of his dreams. Willow Dagen has an incredible body and a mind to match. For a while, she's been perfectly content with her man-free life, focused on her career and her friends-but then, she meets Pete at the club. The two fall into bed, and after a night of passionate sex, never expect to see each other again. But fate won't leave them alone. When Willow's car is vandalized, guess who gets put on the case? Pete and Willow are reunited, and as Pete investigates what he believes to be a string of break-ins, his feelings for Willow only grow. With their increased connection also comes increased danger. Willow is in for a lot more than vandalism, and only Pete can save her from harm. Using his investigative prowess, this smitten detective will do anything to protect the woman he is coming to love. He never could have foreseen that a one-night stand would mean so much-or that a threat would be so very close to home.
