Some heroes aren't born...they're built.

Westley Worthington has found the love of his life in Cordelia Cross. She's even convinced the carefree billionaire to abandon his life of excess. His only problem is, ever since the injury that changed him forever, she's been pulling away, making excuses to avoid being alone with him.

Determined not to let this one slip away, West vows to use his newfound abilities to be a force for good in Glacier City and win back the respect and admiration of the woman he loves.

Cordelia Cross has never felt about anyone the way she feels about Westley Worthington. He's also the head of the company that can restore the normal life that was snatched away from her wheelchair-bound sister, Jessica. Cordelia wants to take things to the next level with West, but she knows too much about his checkered past to trust the outcome of a romantic relationship with the notorious playboy. Determined not to risk her sister's future, Cordelia decides her only option is to cool things off with West, even if it means breaking her own heart.

Passions ignite when the two are forced to work together to save their friend, Edward Dalton, from the clutches of a top-secret paramilitary operation that is running bizarre experiments with human and canine DNA. Will West's attempt at being a hero be enough to make Cordelia love him again? Can Cordelia resist her feelings for West long enough to help her sister? Will she lose her chance with West in the process?
