Bolt Hardin is many things, and comforting ain't one of them. He's too hard-edged, too big, too brutal…and too damn sexy for Tavia's own good. Balancing caution with a frustrating dose of sexual attraction, Tavia takes the rugged stranger home with her. After all, she won't be alone with him. Not when she has a houseful of construction workers underfoot and a boyfriend coming for dinner.

She's cool, calm and in control—until Bolt sets his sights on gaining what he wants. And what he wants is Tavia, laid out and spread for his pleasure. And then there's his own special method of nailing a woman to the floor.

With nothing more than a sexy saunter and a low-slung pair of jeans, Bolt worms his way into Tavia's heart. Lucky for her…Tavia's heart is exactly what Bolt's after.
