Despite his powerful size and presence, Jackson had been wounded…deeply…by a woman. Yet he''d protected her at a personal cost, if his restrained ardor in deference to her virginal apprehension was one indication. Suddenly, for Jackson''s sake, Taylor wanted to replace pain with pleasure. Only, she''d never imagined what sensations—and secrets—she would awaken….

But for a man with a heart? For such a man…she might risk everything.
