Russell is a man on the verge of physical collapse. When he witnesses a young woman being harassed by a creep at the pool where he works, it's the very thing that pushes him over the edge. All rational thought flies out the window and he goes into protector mode.

The young woman in question is Sydney, a lively, free spirit who lives alone with her father. She lost her mom when she was merely five years old, so it's just been her and her dad for many, many years. What is it about Russell's past that binds her heart to his? She'll find out soon enough, but will Russell get himself together enough to offer his heart back? He will if his dying older sister has anything to say about it. Russell, who's the only person left to take care of his bed-ridden and dying sister, Christine, must come to grips with the fact that he can't do it all on his own. He's not Superman.

However, when Sydney and Christine's lives become threatened by a deranged lunatic, will he be able to step in and save them? Sydney has invigorated his soul and breathed new life into him. Now, it's time for Russell to put his foot down and protect the ones he loves most.

Join this short read adventure for plenty of drama, love, and fun. The jacuzzi in Sydney's backyard isn't the only thing steamy in this tale of passion and protection...
