Subject: Lieutenant Colonel Matt Ryan

Mission: Keep things professional…no matter how hard–or hot–it gets!

Matt Ryan wants to settle down to a peaceful life as a helicopter instructor at the local base. When he meets free–spirited antiques dealer Chelly Richardson and finds out she's homeless, well, he has to help. But her living in his pool house means the wild–at–heart woman who is stealing his dreams each night is just a bit too close…

Chelly is determined to pay back the man who helped her during one of the toughest points in her life. She will also save the straitlaced Marine from the disaster that is her by keeping her hands off his hot, hot body. But the more she tries to stay away, the more fate seems to shove them together.
