She's never been tempted to let a man distract her from her dreams . . . until she meets the dead-sexy Garrick Dempsey. The club's new head of security, Garrick had walked away from a career as a mechanical engineer to return to his roots in Corpus Christi. He hadn't planned on getting to know someone like Robyn, with her sinfully sweet combination of vulnerability and strength, at the Devil's Den. She acts tough, but only because she's been hurt. Soon Garrick knows he will do anything to win Robyn's trust.
