out of hand. With his conviction, he lost his job as a firefighter,
lost his marriage, lost custody of his little girl. But now
Cal's out of jail and determined to get his life back. His
first goal is to regain custody of his daughter, who is living
in squalor, neglected by his ex-wife. His criminal record
hurts his chances of gaining full custody of his child, but
Cal has a plan ...
Through her job as an Assistant District
Attorney, Libby Hopkins has earned a stalker. Someone has

menace weren't enough to shake up her staid life, bad boy
Cal Walters, an old flame who broke her heart years before,
has re-entered her life with a startling proposal ... marriage!
Can
a marriage of convenience help Cal gain custody of his
daughter? Will a temporary marriage be enough to deter Libby's
stalker? Or will Cal's plan of marriage stir smoldering
embers
and open them both to UNSEEN DANGERS ...
