From the back...
Cleo McNamara desperately needed a husband...someone to father her child and protect her from a would-be murderer. Security expert Simon Roarke bravely took the job. But Cleo was more than he'd bargained for--every touch between them sizzled, every glance smoldered. Roarke took his husbandly duties seriously--all of them--and he would give Cleo the child she craved. But in her arms he found a peace he'd never felt before...and a threat. For not only was Cleo in danger of losing her life...Roarke was in danger of losing his heart!

In my Opinion...
We learned in another book (Defending his Own) that Roarke is a storng man, but sad after his child was killed. In this book Roarke is hired not only to protect Cleo from the person trying to hurt her, but also to marry her and get her pregnant so that she can inherit the position of CEO of her family's company. At first I was upset with the idea of a storyline that had a man willing to get a woman pregnant and than walk away from his child. However, Roarke is not a heartless person, but just the opposite. He loved his little girl and blames himself for her death. He is afraid of loving another child and not being able to protect him/her or be a good father. But the more time that he spends with Cleo the closer they become. The reader knows that Roarke is a wonderful man wih a lot of love to give if he can put his fears aside. This is one of my favorite books from The Protector series. This was a fast paced romatic read with a bit of romance and danger thrown in.
