Under Faith Malone's soft exterior lies a woman who knows what she wants: A man who'll take without asking--because she's willing to give him everything...

Dallas cop Gray Montgomery wants only to find guy who killed his partner and bring him to justice. What he's found so far a link between the killer and Faith--and if Gray has to get close to her to catch his man, all the better.

She's willing to surrender to the right man. Gray would like to be that man. But catching his partner's killer has to be his first priority. Until Faith is threatened and Gray realizes he will do anything to protect her...
