She was off-limits.
Eric
Wilde has always known that Piper Lane isn’t for him. She is his younger
brother’s best friend…and probably more. But that hasn’t stopped Eric
from wanting her, from longing for the one woman that he can’t have.
Sure, he’s rich, successful—he’s built a security empire, and he’s got
the world at his feet. Only he doesn’t have her.
He is the one man she needs the most.
Free-spirited
Piper Lane has always considered Eric to be the enemy. He’s seemed to
resent her, and the guy just flat-out makes her nervous. Every time
she’s around him, she winds up doing something horribly embarrassing.
But, this time…everything has changed. This time, he’s the one man she
needs the most.
Something is stalking Piper.
A
stranger has broken into Piper’s home twice, and she feels like someone
is following her. Watching her every move. She needs a professional to
help her—so enter Eric Wilde. He promises her protection, he promises to
put his best investigators on her case, and he even moves her into his
house. Suddenly, the guy who has always been the villain in her
life…he’s now playing the role of hero.
Everything will change as the danger mounts.
And
maybe Eric isn’t so bad, after all. The more time that Piper spends
with him, the more she realizes that her feelings for Eric are far more
complicated that she ever imagined. Desire explodes between them even as
the danger deepens around her. Someone in the dark is targeting Piper,
and he is determined that if he can’t possess her…then he will destroy
her.

5 STARS
I'm sorry but Ben (Eric's brother) was SO annoying! And the more time that went on made me think, "What an idiot" he was. Most of that came from times that he interfered with Eric. I felt he was out of line when it came from trying to protect his best friend Piper from Eric. He was kind of possessive which irritated me. The only good point in his favor was that he was such a lifelong friend and was trying to have her back. In this case, though he wasn't as skilled as he would have liked to protect her.
But Eric has everything needed to protect her. As secrets start to come out, he's done standing back from the woman he loves. It begins to be pretty clear how long he's loved her. Eric is one fierce gorgeous, smart guy.
Finally we get to Piper and it also clear how easy it is for others to love her. There's plenty of "dangerous" love out there. Also a lot of potential men who could be after Piper. Intensity is at a high level throughout. The attraction/relationship between Piper and Eric keeps things interesting. I loved them being together when they finally get there.
Twists, turns, surprises, murders make things unpredictable but the story has a surprising ending. I liked that there was a H.E.A. ending.
