    All retired soldier of fortune Ebenezer Scott wants is to finally have some peace and quiet. But when schoolteacher Sally Johnson's life is put in danger, Eb will do anything to keep her safe. Sally doesn't want his help, but Eb is determined to protect her, and to prove he's exactly what she needs, one kiss at a time.

    Sally used to dream of the day Eb held her in his arms. But he broke her heart six years ago, and she can't trust him to not hurt her again. Then someone threatens her and her nephew, and the reclusive mercenary is the only one she can turn to. Now Eb must risk it all to win the sweet-natured beauty over...before it's too late.
