Nick Harding had seen enough of life's darker side...and bore the scars -- inside and out -- to prove it. Plus, years of tracking reprobates had hardly improved his opinion of his fellow man.

But the quiet life proved elusive whenever he and Lily Divine crossed paths, for the feisty owner of The Shady Lady seemed hell-bent on stepping out of a woman's "proper" place...and into his wounded heart!
