Cade would do anything to keep those he loves safe, even if it means using his fists to do it...but when push comes to shove, and he does what it takes to protect what's his, will Heather be able to forgive him?

Firefighter Cade Nash isn't afraid of much, but one fear is deep-seated from childhood. The dentist. So, when his sexy new neighbor turns out to be a dentist, he does his best to contain his desire. He has dedicated his life to helping people, so when her car needs a jump, he is happy to help. But, when he breaks his tooth and Heather offers to fix it, he wants nothing to do with her.

After leaving an abusive marriage, Dr. Heather Holbrook is ready to start a new life in a new city. All she wants is a quiet life in a quaint neighborhood and to learn to rely only on herself. A series of events forces Heather to rely on Cade far more than she's comfortable with, her pull to him undeniable until he does the unthinkable, all in the name of protecting her.
