     But taking that initial leap of faith is difficult when you’ve tumbled in the turmoil of your past and you know just how much it hurts to relive it. I get it. I’ve been there. I’ve made my fair share of mistakes when it comes to the dating department. And as far as I’m concerned, most men are complete assholes. So why should I waste my mine? It’ll always end the same. Or, at least, that’s what I kept telling myself as I kept my head down and focused on becoming a veterinarian. Forget them, I repeated over and over again. You don’t need them. How many times have you cried for them and they never shed a single tear for you? Maybe that voice in the back of my head had a point but what’s the point of living if you’re always on your own? Because, trust me, being alone sucks. And the constant silence of an empty apartment is a surefire way to insanity. So, why am I so opposed to Dr. Goodman? The dreamboat that fell out of the sky and practically landed on my lap due to a little airplane mix up. Because I’m afraid that he’s going to turn out like every other lowlife that’s ever shown their interest in me. And I’m not about to get my heart broken by a surgeon even if he knows how to stitch it back together again. I think I’ll just save myself the pain.

    I expect the house to be dark and quiet.What I don’t expect is a B&E. Or the beautiful young woman I find in the dark.My gun doesn’t fire but the weapon in my pants damn near does when I see her.Then I recognize her. She's my best friend’s daughter, who I haven’t seen since she was just a kid.And she’s most certainly not a kid anymore.I’ve never felt like this before. Never.The nature of my job requires me to protect, but something about Camila has cranked it up another notch, to a level of possessiveness and protectiveness even I didn’t think I possessed.I can’t get this girl out of my head, nor would I want to.I’m no longer here on a friendly mission. I’m here to let her know what’s mine.And that’s exactly what she is now,…mine forever, even if I have to risk the one thing that’s always mattered most…being her dad’s policeman best friend.

    I have built three global security companies, including foreign subsidiaries which include an airline company and a shipping conglomerate, partnered with some of the biggest industry titans in the realm of international trade. But my love is in protecting and securing the safety of those I care about.And I’ve done this, as it turns out, at the expense of my own security and fortune. I’ve cared for everyone else’s assets, and left mine wide open to plunder.Well, that was then. This is now. This is me fighting back. I’m going to screw that witch of a former wife, who, while she was screwing me in my own bed, was slutting with other men. I was naive, but now, fully awakened, I will have my revenge.And it will be sweet!
