For years, I've tried to hide my attraction to him because I know it's one-sided. Gabe is fiercely protective of me, but that's as far as his affections go. He's older than me–something he reminds me of often—and he takes his role of caring for me seriously. But when a family tragedy brings us together, grief and comfort lead to a fiery night of passion. I might have given in to my desires, but I refuse to let this change things between us. I know that Gabe will convince himself that staying with me is the right thing to do.

At one time, Dominic Evans was my everything. That was before everything fell apart. My parents had warned me he wasn't the right kind of man for me and Dom proved them right. Now seventeen years later, I'm returning home. Running from my own mistakes in the form of an abusive, cheating fiancé. With my trail of bad luck, my car breaks down and Dom is the one who comes to my rescue. I hate having to rely on him, but I don't have much of a choice. Next thing I know Dominic sets up a work space for me in his garage; and finds me a job.
