Quick: A Short Romance Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798266897670)

Love can be protective... and dangerously irresistible.

Mario is a homeless security guard, ex-boxer, living in his van on the streets of Los Angeles. Fresh from a painful divorce and having given up his lake house, he spends sixty-hour weeks protecting others while keeping himself disciplined and strong. At his regular laundromat, he notices the same faces, but one encounter changes everything.

A nail technician who works for a wealthy cruise line owner introduces Mario to her client - a sophisticated, introverted woman with a stalker problem. Hired to protect her, Mario finds himself drawn to her in ways he never expected. She's lonely, intrigued, and bold enough to make the first move.

But Mario has a side he's never revealed: handcuffs, blindfolds, and a desire that teeters on the edge of control and surrender. As their passion ignites, can they trust each other enough to explore both the tender and the dangerous sides of desire - without losing themselves?
