Everything changed the night Kri almost died.

Simply being her coworker or her friend is no longer enough.

I need more. I want forever.

When she woke up from that coma, her eyes sought mine.

My hand was the first one she held.

And for eight weeks, I stayed in the hospital with her.

No matter how many times she tried to push me away, I never faltered.

Two years ago, we shared a passionate moment, but she quickly retreated from our connection.

I've craved her ever since.

Kri's clearly been hurt before, so I've been patient.

But I can't stop fantasizing about how it'll feel to drive her wild with pleasure.

I'm done waiting.

My plan to win her heart starts falling into place when she agrees to live with me while she recovers.

But she's determined to keep it platonic.

Until the night she gives in and slams her mouth to mine.

With her back to the wall, I give her a glimpse of how it feels to surrender to her desire. And to me.

Then she pushes me away. Again.

Now I'm longing for the inevitable moment when she lets me claim her - body, mind, heart, and soul.

But danger knocks at our door.

And we've got a houseguest - an unruly teenager needing our protection.

No matter the threat, I'll do what I do best.

Protect those I love.

And make no mistake, I'll get the girl.

Whether she likes it or not.
