When Sam Masterson, a former marine in a wheelchair, clashes with Tall Hollander, he doesn't expect the sexy architect to reawaken him as a man.

Sam Masterson owns a building where a lot of misfits make a home. When his working class neighbourhood comes under pressure because of a shiny new development, he heads uptown to speak his mind to the man behind the gentrification. Architect Tall Hollander is not what he expects-slinky and up front about finding Sam hot.

But before he can risk his heart, Sam has to be a hero again. For his nephew, who needs him to step up, and for his residents, who are sorely in need of his skills as a warrior to protect them from the brutal thief known as The Bruiser...
