BLURB

Growing up in the aftermath of her mother’s murder, Silver Cartersuccessfully buried her soft, lovable, carefree side under layers of hurt, masked by a G.I. Jane persona.

When Carter Tate finds himself the object of a stalker’s obsession, he agrees to let his business partner’s sister, Silver, work as his personal security. Captivated by her, Carter’s filled with a powerful longing he can’t control and manages to break down the walls of protection she’s erected.

Will Silver have a chance at real happiness, or will the stalker ultimately win in the end?
