I'm on a man-fast.
You heard me, a male detoxification plan.
WELCOME BACK TO SHELL COVE MEDICAL CENTER WHERE THERAPY SESSIONS IN SEDUCTION ARE JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED...
Lina James, psychiatric nurse and self-proclaimed independent woman isn't going to allow another man to walk out of her life. Her love is officially off the market. She's declared a preemptive strike on the male species with a man-fast. There's just one glitch in Lina's detox plan–Gideon. Her blood sugar spikes remembering the one kiss they shared.
Gideon Rice is a veteran Marine and respected psychiatrist with more emotional wounds than his patients. He lives his life in camouflage–a wall between his rejection-filled past, and his new life ensures the two worlds never intersect. Gideon's life plan is simple–give wounded warriors a place to heal and convince Lina James she's the only woman for him.
When Lina's past brings danger to her doorstep, she's forced to accept Gideon's help. His tender touch and determination to keep her safe, rocks the foundation of her man-fast, but she's determined to resist her cravings.
How will she keep him at arm's length when he is the safe haven she's always wanted? In a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, how will they find the courage to risk their hearts in a fight for their lives?
