After his injuries forced U.S. Marshal Andre Hart to retire, an old friend recruits him to do security for a reality TV star plastic surgeon with a stalker. One look at Dr. Shannon Soal, and he's hooked. She requests he pose as her lover to hide her stalker problem and increased need for security from the public. Though unorthodox, that's no sacrifice. The only problem is keeping it a pretense instead of making it a reality. They fight their attraction, but how can they deny their hearts when they might have found their soulmates?

Meanwhile, Shannon's stalker has death in mind and won't give up on her easily. Or ever.

Andre Hart first appeared in "Safe Harbor." This story is a standalone, but you might enjoy seeing Andre in that story.
