It's a good thing I've resigned and am leaving this job, and my unrequited passion behind forever. But when we flirt at the office Christmas party marking my departure, I can't help but wonder 'what if'. Is it just a fling; a fantasy; a little taste that will make every future relationship pale in comparison? Or is this something real?

Until someone else makes a pass at her, and my protective instincts kick in with a vengeance. Emily and I share an intimate moment and the floodgates of my desire open wide. It's too late to take it all back. Tonight can only end one way: with me making her mine forever.

    In the span of twelve hours, I had the cops called on me, my car broke down, and the on-campus apartment I’m supposed to move into isn’t ready yet. But my luck changes when my dad’s cop friend offers to lend a hand. Big, strong, powerful. Chris is the only man I’ve ever wanted, and I want him to see me as something more than his friend's daughter, so I do what seems like a good idea at the time - I put on a curve-hugging little white dress and ask him to drive me to a party on campus. Turns out my plan worked a little too well, and when some frat guy jerk tries something with me, my dad’s friend goes into ultra-protective beast-mode. He says I’m his. That no one is allowed to put a hand on me but him. But does he just want to protect me and keep me safe - or does he want to do something else to me, too?
