"A hot and sexy action thriller that will keep readers turning pages well into the night" from the USA Today–bestselling author of Protective Instincts (Romantic Times, 4 1/2 Stars—Top Pick).

When did plain, mousy personal assistant Brooke Hansford sprout miles of long, smooth, creamy legs? And more important, why did Detective Atticus Kincaid suddenly notice? Their relationship had always been the "good friend" variety. But now Brooke was in his thoughts and under his skin. The fact that she was receiving unwanted male attention in the form of some creep's anonymous psychological terror brought out all of Atticus's protective instincts.

Now Brooke finds herself virtually surrounded by the badge and broad shoulders of Atticus. Her awkward affection for him erupts into a raw need that she's never known. But will the fuel of newfound passion ignite a killer's revenge?
