He wasn't taking no for an answer. When you agree to help your best friend break into her ex-boyfriend’s apartment, you can expect a few complications. A half-naked, hot-as-hell Marine bursting in, demanding to know what is going on, is not one of them! Sage is an intelligent, independent woman. The last thing she needs is some arrogant alpha male storming into her life and ordering her around. Yet that is exactly what she gets when Conner sets his sights on her. Despite their obvious attraction, Sage resists him at every turn, convinced he is not the man for her. After three straight deployments as a Marine attack helicopter pilot, all Conner wants to do during his month of leave is sleep. But when he lays eyes on Sage, after stopping what he thinks is a robbery, the furthest thing from his mind is sleep. Drawn by her feisty attitude as much as her beauty, Conner is determined to make her his. Even if he has to fight her every step of the way.
