Dante Notte has heard that love hurts. He just didn't expect her to run him over with a van. Still, a punctured lung and broken ribs are nothing compared to the shock he feels when he finds himself next to the driver of the car, Mary Winslow. He must protect her from her pursuers while he saves his brother. The hardest part is that he must accept this smart, stubborn woman as his life partner. The naked, wounded, insanely gorgeous young man who climbed into her van insists that they belong together. If Mary hadn't felt their incredible connection in every inch of her being, she wouldn't have believed it. But now that the men who took Dante's twin are hunting her too, trusting her instincts means risking her life for an immortal who, by definition, is a complete stranger.
