Nora Kensington

She built walls to protect her heart. He was born to break them. Angeline has everything under control-her elite career as a powerhouse editor, her carefully guarded emotions, and a vow to never fall in love. Love, after all, is weakness... and weakness destroys. She learned that the hard way watching her mother unravel from heartbreak. But one broken-down car in the middle of nowhere shatters Angeline's carefully constructed world.
Enter Adam-a blond, brooding, and dangerously irresistible professional hockey player with a past he keeps buried and a body built for sin. When he pulls over to help, sparks fly. And not the safe kind. What starts as a heated clash of wills quickly turns into a sizzling, slow-burn romance neither of them can deny. Each encounter is steamier than the last. Each look, each touch, strips away her control.
Adam wants her-in his bed, in his arms, in his life-and he won't stop until she gives in. But when a scandalous misunderstanding threatens everything they've built and a life-threatening accident forces a brutal choice, Angeline must decide:Keep her heart locked away-or surrender to the man who could shatter it completely.
