The last thing he expected was to make a hot connection with a beautiful brunette at a bar. She doesn’t want to know his name and he’s more than happy not to give it. She just got it all. How’s she going to keep it? Tara doesn’t offer her name to the sexy guy she picks up after bombing out on her first assignment.
