She trusts no one. He wants her trust most of all.
Private investigator Darcy DeAngelo doesn't make mistakes on the job?only with men. She barely survived heartbreak and betrayal by a manipulative therapist, and nowadays, she keeps her heart locked up tighter than her case files. But when a stakeout goes wrong, she finds herself in close quarters with an alpha male who might be worth gambling the key for.
Therapist Logan Thompson has waited his whole life for the kind of wild, passionate love that shakes a man in his boots?and the guarded detective has it written all over her. Protective to the bone and not above putting the sarcastic and sassy girl over his knee to contemplate better choices, he's patient enough to weather her defenses and get to the truth. Logan knows Darcy is the one, but convincing her to release the key to her heart will be the most formidable challenge he's ever faced.
Trust doesn't come easy, though, and Darcy isn't sure she has any left to give. To win her heart, Logan must prove that real love heals instead of hurts...and that she's finally found the one man who won't let her down.
