CORA Since my mother died, I've been raised by men - a hard-working single father and an overprotective older brother who would drop dead if he knew I was musing on the three-letter-word. And let's not forget his best friend and team Captain, Nicolas Kane, who, aside from his magnetic green eyes and cocky smile, is the worst offender when it comes to keeping me in a bubble. And he happens to be the only one I want breaking it . . . NICHOLAS This girl is going to be the reason I go to jail. Especially if she keeps acting out the way she has been . . . coming home drunk, jumping out of planes, talking about sex? I've been through it all with my best friend, including keeping his defiant kid sister in line. But it's becoming damn hard when suddenly my protective nature looks more like possessive when she's around. Because Cora Knight is slowly but surely . . . becoming mine.
