"amusing, erotic, and heartwarming tale"

Chased by a revenge-crazy drug dealer with delusions of mob boss grandeur, Kara ducked into a hospital, hoping that Carlotti wouldn't give chase in a crowded area. When he did, Kara defended herself against his attack. Unfortunately, Dr. Jared Dean witnessed the assault. Hurrying away, Kara is determined never to see the doctor again until she realizes that he is a witness and as such is a danger to Carlotti and in danger himself.

Watching the spitfire pummel a full-grown man, Jared found himself in awe. When she ran away, he gave chase, hoping to find out if she was all right and to learn more about her. When she succeeds in fleeing, he figures he would never see her again. Jared certainly never expected her to show up and claim to be his self-appointed bodyguard.

Kara was determined to keep both Jared and her heart safe. Jared was equally determined to prove he could protect himself and cherish her, both body and soul. What follows is an amusing, erotic, and heartwarming tale as two headstrong opposites attract.

Summary

Never a dull night in the ER for Dr. Jared Dean, especially when he sees the woman of his fantasies beating the crap out of the largest man he has ever seen, only to have her escape before he even gets to ask her name. Kara realizes the gorgeous doc is now in danger of retribution from the Godfather wannabe, so she immediately assigns herself the arduous task of guarding the hard body of Dr. Dean until she can figure a way out of the mess. Jared is only too happy to accommodate the woman of his dreams, even if he doesn't take her seriously. Anything to have her close at hand... and in his bed.
