Casey was ready to die because no one could live through what she'd survived. When a strange man helped calm her, staying with her the whole time, she suddenly felt safe. When his hand gripped her, she realized she was warm for the first time in years. Although he acted like he wanted to be with her, she didn't quite trust him.

Damn, this little woman had gone through a traumatic experience and was still concerned for him. He couldn't see much of her face because of the blood, but he knew she was delicately built and had hair the color of mahogany he'd always loved. The more he got to know her, the more he wanted her.

When some misunderstandings tear them apart, Simon knows he'll do anything to get her back. He can't see his life without her.
