Loving Lilly — J.M. Madden

Diego Ortiz has too many demons to fight to even consider taking on a relationship. But when socialite and former model Lilly Carmichael needs rescued in the midst of a crowd of people, he's right there to lend her a hand. Proximity forces him to acknowledge that he needs to be with her and when they finally give in, it's a revelation to them both.

Lilly Carmichael sees the real man Diego is, though he tries to discourage her. Angry and secluded he tries to shove her away, but she hopes that if she's persistent enough, he'll bend. And he doesn't seem to be protesting as hard as he used to be…

As she's thrust into a situation she has to fight against, he's right there supporting her, being the man that she had always hoped for.
