He'll shake her foundations…
Ana Grace is living a single mother's worst nightmare. Separated from her two kids by a catastrophic earthquake, she's trapped in her office building with a man she's only just met. He's a sexy former soldier, and possibly the only man able to help her navigate the dangerous landscape home.
Daniel Calder is tired of failing people he's tried to help, but since Ana is his younger sister's boss, he's caught between a rock and a hard place. That rock keeps shifting under his feet, shaking his determination not to become emotionally involved with another damsel in distress.
But when an unforeseen enemy rises from a city in chaos, Ana Grace and her family are in the crosshairs. There's so much more at stake than just their hearts, and the clock is ticking.
Once on the second floor ledge, Daniel followed her directions to descend another story, where he dropped the last six feet to land catlike on the ground. He brushed a smattering of dust from his shoulder and stalked toward her, a tawny panther of a man.
It was a moment that slashed a line in the sand. On one side was Nadia's brother and the perfect guy to have around in an emergency. On the other side of the line, the one she'd inadvertently stepped over, was simply Daniel. Ana could no longer deny her awareness of him, how he made her blood thrum and heat wash through her body.
He stopped close enough that she could count each individual flake of brick that dotted his shirt. Heat blistered off him, carrying his unique scent and the raw sting of fresh male sweat. Her mouth went dry, as if the warmth of his body sucked out all the moisture.
"Could've done it blindfolded, huh?" The tip of her tongue swept out to dampen lips that trembled under his fierce contemplation. "You might've been killed."
Daniel didn't reply. Instead, he slid a hand along the curve of her jaw. She shivered as his long fingers cradled the back of her head and used them as gentle leverage to pull her off balance. Her hands splayed against his chest, her palms soaking up the heat released from taut muscle.
"I didn't need to see. I had you."
"Daniel, I don't think we, I mean I-" Her voice contained a huskiness she didn't recognize. It was like eavesdropping on a stranger. A stranger who wasted her breath by protesting the inevitable.
