One night of sin... He watched her on the slopes, in the restaurant, and now here, in the dimly lit bar of the fashionable resort of Vail, pretending not to notice her at all from another corner of the packed room. Songwriter Grace Ryder has never liked being the center of attention, but she feels a tingle every time this sexy mysterious stranger's eyes land on her. His muscular body may look menacing, but his seductive lips are literally begging for sweet relief. Only one night will tell whether he is harmless or sinful... will lead to a dangerous surrender. Aegis agent Brian Walker received clear orders: watch, but do not approach. Grace Ryder is not for him at all. But the situation changes when a leggy brunette makes him an offer he can’t refuse. Desire leads to seduction, and one night of surrender will test Brian's personal and professional principles. And although his dark lust has won, the price may be too high: there is a stalker lurking nearby, waiting for the right moment to strike, and if Brian lets down his guard, his obsession with a woman he should not have touched will lead to the death of both of them.< /p>
