Her gruff neighbor unsettled Sara Murdoch with his mesmerizing stare. But when escalating threats proved Sara's childhood nightmares were only too real, Nat Sanderson took action.

He could no more refuse to protect them than he could deny that he and Sara would be lovers. Not with evil poised to strike just before dawn.
