I protect. That's my job, but I never thought I'd find her.

Jon McDaniels loves being Dash Jordan's right-hand man. He runs security for the Jordan family and doesn't expect love to factor into his job. Then he sees Lesley and every protective instinct kicks in. She's so much younger than he is, but he can't help how much he wants her.

I want to get away from my past, but when I see him, I know he's my future.

Lesley Kane knows the dirtier side of life. The child of drug addicts, she wants to shed her past and move on. She thinks she's safe on her college campus — until danger from her former life shows up in her present. Jon not only saves her, but he sees there's more to her than what she's been through. So he's older than her... age is just a number, right?

Can two people, bent but not broken, find they have a future together?
