A. L. Jackson From Here to Eternity

I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop... Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that. My life is dangerous. My calling wicked. Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent. I thought I'd never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor's office. The woman who'd taken possession of my thoughts. When it becomes clear she's in trouble, I offer up a deal. Twenty questions to earn her trust. Too bad trusting me is the last thing she should do. With one kiss, I'm addicted. With one night, we're falling into a passion greater than either of us has ever known. The voices in my head warn I can never keep her. She can't know the secret life I lead. Only she's keeping a secret, too. And I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means losing everything...
