Subject: Navy Lieutenant Brad Riddock, explosives expert.

Current Status: On leave...and on alert!

Mission: Getting mentally prepared for his next mission.

Obstacle: Getting Nikki Thornton out of his head...and into his bed.

All Professor Nikki Thornton wants is to fix up the home she's inherited from a friend. The place is run down, and she's at her wit's end dealing with her friend's hostile relations. On the upside, she has a droolingly hot neighbor--whose late-night workouts offer seriously panty-vaporizing entertainment....

Explosives expert Navy Lieutenant Brad Riddock is on enforced R ' R...but it's rapidly becoming more racy than restful! When Nikki receives threatening letters, Brad immediately offers his protection--his very personal protection. But his leave is soon over, and the threats to Nikki's safety are escalating. Will this volatile situation bring them together...before it tears them apart?
