English teacher Katrina's patience is put to the test when sexy detective Dillon saunters into her classroom forty-five minutes late for parent-teacher conferences. Their first meeting is anything but amicable-but they're soon together again in an entirely different and more unpleasant situation. When Dillon responds to a home invasion and assault, the last person he expects to see is his son's fiery-tempered-and damn attractive teacher, who has been haunting his thoughts since he aggravated her only days before. It soon becomes clear that Katrina's attacker's intentions are far more sinister than anyone initially realized and Dillon and Katrina's time together becomes a necessity. But as the investigation heats up and their attraction mounts, Dillon is faced with a choice. Ignore the rules about getting involved with a witness-or risk it all for love.
