As soon as number-crunching dynamo Ilene O'Hara uncovered fraud at her company, she knew she and her young son desperately needed protection. But to her horror, her assigned protector was none other than Detective Clay Cavanaugh, the man she still loved. And the father of the son she'd never told him about. Clay had the reputation of being a ruthless law enforcer -- and a Casanova. After Ilene, he'd ensured that love had never entered the equation again. But now she needed his help, and he couldn't deny that the forbidden attraction between witness and protector was growing. And yet Clay could tell she was keeping a secret from him. Would the truth destory their fiery connection -- or bind them forever? -- back cover.
