Emily Jordan is a doctor and a single mother of an eight year old son Robbie. Emily knows about violence and abuse. She had an abusive father and an abusive husband, so when a huge drunken hockey player starts flirting with her, she does not want anything to do with him, no matter how handsome or charming he is.

Eric Cameron is a big time famous hockey player, and he knows about control and about being lonely. Eric is ready to settle down; he wants a home and family. When he meets Emily Jordan in the hospital one night after a brawl in a bar, all he can think about is seeing her again. But Emily is being very stubborn.

As Eric keeps trying to get Emily to see him in a different light, her son Robbie thinks Eric is a hero. Both Eric and Emily have past filled with pain and betrayal, and just as Emily starts warming up to him, something happens and Emily suddenly refuses to see him. What Eric does not know is Emily is being threatened, and soon things get out of hand. Distrust raises its head as painful pasts haunt both Eric and Emily. Can these two find a way to get past their pain to have a future?

Sensational! This is such an absolutely heart warming story, it will stay with you long after you finish the book. Written with great passion and emotion, this tale will touch women everywhere who have, or even have not, known abuse. I fell in love with this hero's strength to go after Emily because he knew she was worth it. Exceptional characters and memorable secondary characters are created with intense depth and history. Sensual love scenes and tender moments are added to complete this touching romance. This is one book you will want to read over and over again.
