Gentle Protector — Linda Randall Wisdom

Keri Burke hadn't always been gun-shy around men. But, pregnant and alone, the owner of K. B. Temps certainly wasn't ready to start learning how to trust again now. Why wouldn't Ryan Kincaid, ruggedly handsome business tycoon, take no for an answer? Somehow her failed marriage, her difficult pregnancy, and her one disastrous mistake didn't seem to matter. Keri knew that a man like Ryan was used to getting his way, and that spelled danger. The last thing she wanted was a keeper, especially one who could be so disarmingly gentle and so wickedly sensual at the same time. Against her own will, he was bringing her back to life. He was kind and caring. Why was it so hard to believe that he was the man she could trust with her heart, her future, her life?
