"Joe Taylor is terrified of being touched. It's made him a recluse, but he doesn't mind being shut in his apartment, churning out novels for his pretty editor.

Then Kisten Jones walks into his life, a perfect Prince Charming who won't let up on his attempts to get Joe to come out of his shell.

No matter how hard he tries, there's something about that kid Joe just can't resist... but no road traveled was ever easy, and they'll face more than their share of problems before they can get their Happily Ever After."

Another paper. Another signature. Another person assuring me I was doing the right thing.


"Kis- Mr. Jones, it's time for your afternoon meeting."

Can't get shit done around here without somebody getting in your way," I muttered rebelliously. It was why I hadn't wanted to get saddled with this job. I pushed out a sigh, dropping my head into my hands."I'll be right out, Clint. Thanks."


There was a slight frown to my face as I heard the door click shut. I looked up to see that only Clint was left in the room. His hazel eyes were fixed on me, his expression a mix of fear and determination.


"What do you need?" I asked warily, resting my hands flat on my desk, next to the letter opener. More than one of my close acquaintances had tried to kill me in recent weeks.
