As it often does, the bad news comes in the middle of the night. When attorney Ben Winters’s close friend takes a bad spill and ends up in the hospital, he flies across the country to be there for her. His instant attraction to her brother takes him by surprise.

But there’s one powerful reason to give in: Ben has never wanted anyone more.
