SummaryThe last man in the world Brenna James should be drawn to is Cole Cassidy. He is, after all, the attorney who won a lawsuit against her. His rescue of her one night after work makes her reassess everything she believes about this hard man. He challenges her to see himó not the tool of retribution in a grudge match against her. And when she opens her eyes and her heart to him, she discovers he may be what she's always dreamed of . . . and can never have. Cole Cassidy knows Brenna has no reason to like him, much less trust him. But when fate throws a second chance his way, he seizes the moment, determined to find out more about this woman on whom he's staked his reputation and his career. He discovers she's the kind of person he most admires . . . one who stands on her own two feet, looks life in the eye and takes responsibility - and she's been doing so since she was fifteen. That she's a survivor is obvious-what he doesn't understand is why she has settled for mere survival when she could have so much more. It's an impossible dream he tantalizes her withówith him at her side, a dream she would give anything to claim as her own.
