Desperado

When Mary Delaney looked out her window and saw a hunk sprawled in a wading pool and singing to the moon, interrupting her much-needed sleep, she threw a vase of flowers at him -- and nearly killed Bruce ("Stud") Hagendorn! She had no way of knowing that her new downstairs neighbor was desperately allergic to daisies! A speedy rescue was her introduction to the most virile man she'd ever seen, but for years she'd filled her life with only school and work, trying to forget the tragic losses that had shattered her perfect world years before. Now a man who refused to take no for an answer had breached her isolation, teased her with kisses that set off fireworks, and made her yearn to care again. Bruce finally wanted to promise forever, but he knew she'd feel betrayed once she learned how he spent his nights. Did she love him enough to push the demons from her heart and celebrate the miracle they'd found?
