Twice.
No fucking way

His heart lurched and so did his cock. Standing on the dock, hands on her curvy hips, was the one woman he thought he’d never see again. Never
wanted
to see again.
Talk about a storm blowing in… “What are you doing here, Bianca?”
She pointed to the name written in flowing script on the boat’s side. “The Love Boat? Really?”
Maggie danced on her feet, straining at the leash and wagging her tail at Bianca.

Five years and B still looked as young and fresh, and innocent as the day she’d broken his heart in high school. She’d ripped it to shreds again six months ago. But she wasn’t innocent. Not by a long shot.
The NSA agent working on the Southern California Violent Crimes taskforce never rested in her quest for information. “You’re still wearing your ring,” she said, staring at his left hand.
The damn gold band around his finger was an exact match to hers. “You didn’t need to bring the divorce papers in person. The post office delivers bad news every day.”
The wind toyed with strands of her long hair, making his fingers itch to do the same. Her mouth quirked. “Do you even get mail here? On a boat?”

The smirk left her mouth and she sighed, looking around as if she were worried about the approaching storm. Or maybe she was worried someone would see her talking to him. She stepped forward, lowered her voice, and her pretty blue eyes met his head-on from behind her sexy librarian glasses. “I’m in trouble, Cal. Big trouble.”
“Trouble’s always been your middle name, B. What’s new?”
“If I’m going to live through the next twenty-four hours,” she hesitated a moment, then said the words he’d never thought he’d hear. Ever. “I want—I
need
—you. After what I’ve stumbled across, you’re the only man who can protect me.”
