Amanda Martin has the worst taste in men. After being cheated on not once, but twice, she's lost all faith in men ... and in herself. Determined to regain her confidence, Amanda decides to have a one-night stand. No relationship, no promises, no threat of being hurt again ... just sex. What she doesn't anticipate is meeting a handsome-as-sin stranger who will give her pleasure unlike any she's ever known.

Joe Sterling has spent his life avoiding relationships, his former job as a military sniper not allowing for such commitments. Now he's come home to Texas, to let go of the past and to prove he is more than the killer he's been trained to be.

When Amanda's life is threatened, Joe's killer instinct is tested while Amanda struggles to protect her heart. Will they succumb to their overwhelming desire for each other, or lose it all by letting the past dictate their future?
