Image is everything
Bad boy Kane's image is what gets him the job
protecting Annie and her Hawaiian ranch but it's an image he's restless to shake. This time he wants to get the girl--not the
blame.
Annie Ventura needs Kane to be a tough guy,
but what she falls for is the tenderness. Now she has to figure out how to handle both sides of this irresistible man who is
dredging up secrets from her past.
Kane Carrington can't resist a call for help from the
girl he secretly loved in high school. He goes back to his Hawaiian home, only to find he's still the "bad boy" to her golden girl
image. But now he's a man, not a boy and Annie Ventura can't resist him. But does he have to destroy her memories of
her dead husband in order to seal the deal?
As they work together to get to the bottom of the
harassment she’s been experiencing, memories return and emotions are rekindled. Annie learns that protecting the past for her
son just might lead to her losing their future. Kane begins to understand his family and his place in it—and how important it is
to build bridges instead of blowing them up.

EXCERPT
Emotions were usually pretty deep with him. He
didn't like to let them get too near the surface. But for just a moment, he'd stopped and turned slowly, taking it all in, remembering a
past that could never be again, missing it, missing home and actually feeling a slight stinging in his eyes.
And that was when she got him.
"Okay, you bastard, hold it right there. Don't make a
move."
At the same moment the voice hit him, both barrels
of a shotgun were jammed very hard and very painfully into the small of his back, and he groaned in disbelief. He hadn't even heard
her coming up behind him. He shook his head. He was losing it.
"I'd like to blast a hole right through you. How
would you like that, you slime ball?"
"Hey, hold on just a minute..."
The barrel jabbed him. "Don't try to talk, dirt bag.
Just start walking. I'm going to walk you right off my land, and then I'm going to call the cops. And the next time you come slinking
around I'm going to blow your brains out. You got that?" She jabbed him again to get him going toward the road. "And you can tell
Bart Carlson I'll do the same for any other of his pathetic flunkies that he sends over here to screw up my life."
It took only one quick twist and a little leverage, and
he had her on the ground, his big body holding hers down, the shotgun wrenched from her grasp and sent spinning in the dust.</

But that didn't mean she gave up. Not by any means.
She fought like a wildcat, spitting and scratching at him with fury. It took both his hands to hold down hers, and the full length of his
body to hold her captive.
"Cut it out, Annie," he growled at her, annoyed that
she wasn't giving up even once she'd realized his superior strength. "I'm not going to hurt you."
The sound of her name was what seemed to still
her for a moment. She stared up at him and he stared down at her, wondering if she had any idea that they had known each other
before.
She'd changed. But her hair was still blond, still
a mass of shimmering tangles that seemed to go on forever. Her body was still slim and lithe, but there was a strength to her he
wouldn't have thought she would ever possess. She was still squirming beneath him, but it was beginning to feel good. He glanced at
her cotton blouse, all askew and revealing the soft curve of her breast and a tiny strip of lace.
"Don't," she spat at him fiercely.
He looked up. Her face was older, naturally. The
crystal blue eyes he remembered so vividly were wary, haunted by pain and struggle she couldn't have dreamed of in her younger days.
And she wasn't laughing. In his memories, she was always laughing.
There was no sign of recognition. Didn't anybody
remember him? Had he been erased from the minds of an entire community?
