Two years ago, Cal Walters was convicted of assaulting a man in a bar fight– even though he'd been trying to protect an abused woman when the fight got 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 been following her and sending her threatening letters. As if the stalker's 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 ...
