Friends are always good to have, but what if your best friend sets you up with his drop dead gorgeous sister? He knew. Oliver knew she was too hot and too naughty to resist. The fear of being blown off by her made him want her even more. She knew he was dangerous but so we're her brothers. It was the perfect storm, for he was her kind of man, a very dangerous man. Everything about their love triangle said danger but no one wanted to back out while they still could. Deena stayed with him, for his was her wedded husband. But so did Nancy, for he was hers to win over. What both women did not realise was there was another secret competitor.

The chase gave him a reason to love and to live. For without it, he simply had no reason to love or to live. This story is based on true events.
