He was trained to handle anything that came his way, but he never expected that 'anything' would be a twenty-two-year-old Italian temptress showing up at his family's Montana ranch. She's hiding something, that much is clear, but what worries him more is the fear behind her sad, brown eyes. He recognizes the red flags, and he'll do whatever it takes to show her that as long as she's under his protection, no harm will come to her.
