Ace Bufford's day just went from bad to worse...

All he'd set out to do was a favor for a friend, and he'd somehow found himself barging into a random apartment with a gun in his hand. Except the sole inhabitant wasn't a stranger, she was Lydia Caldwell?the one that got away.

She wasn't supposed to want the man who'd pointed a gun at her. But she did. Ace had grown up in all the right ways, well, except for the gun thing. Without knowing how, Lydia suddenly found herself having to decide whether or not to embrace her unexpected attraction. And together they had to find a way to get Ace out of the mess he'd landed in, or their time together would end as abruptly as it had before.
