Nothing is as it seems... Temptation landed at Special Agent Larry Newman's feet-literally. Charlene Smith captured his heart after he rescued her from terrorists two months ago. A failed relationship and abusive childhood have turned him into a loner and workaholic. The scars weigh heavily on him and keep him from pursuing her. So what's a guy to do when the woman he pines for passes out in front of him while working a case? Battling psychological wounds from abduction is easier than coming face to face with the sexy FBI agent she's fantasized about for months. As a single mother, she chooses to avoid the drama that dating would bring to her son's life. So she only allows Larry close in her dreams. Now she's second-guessing her decision. Should she have a relationship with this man who makes her feel alive just by being close?
