Loving him was dangerous. Losing him was unacceptable. Captain Misha Martin finds returning to Cocoa Beach and integrating back to a civilian isn't easy and can be dangerous. His job security seems to be up in the air, his neighbor is driving him insane, and a string of burglaries are hitting too close to home. If all that's not enough, his past, in the form of sexy little Jasmine Beckett, has chosen now to remind him he's not only still alive, he wants a life. Jasmine, a soft-hearted but strong-willed EMT is shocked, thrilled, and slammed with desire when she sees Misha and the timing couldn't be better. Her life is finally on a semi-even keel and she can look into the possibility of a personal life. Granted, there's the problem of him thinking of her as just a friend, but she it's been a long time since she backed down from a challenge.
