Barbara Ryan is a woman of unwavering independence who longs for a soulmate to fulfill her dream of a traditional family. The last man she expected it to be was the commanding, overbearing detective who keeps meddling in her life, stirring her body and emotions in unexpected ways.

Detective Adam Sinclair sees beyond the irresistible young woman's tough exterior. He recognizes her true nature: sensuality, goodness, and vulnerability. After three years of holding back, Adam is determined to break through Barbara's barriers to claim her heart, body, and soul.

When Barbara trusts the wrong man, Adam must intervene and persuade her that relying on others doesn't make her weak, but is a blessing to embrace.
