Stacking The Deck (Dangerous Pasts #3)

Will he ever walk again?

As a top rehabilitation therapist, Christina Lorde devotes her days to helping people recover from spinal cord injuries. Most nights, however, she spends alone, dreaming of one of her patients. Eager to distract herself from her inappropriate feelings, she joins an on-line dating site where a profile of a handsome war veteran catches her attention. She needs to get out, to have fun again, and decides to take a chance on a man she's never met in person.



Marine biologist Ben Roberts has to focus on walking again. He can't become involved with his sexy physical therapist, not when he'll be leaving Chicago to return to his native Florida as soon as his therapy is complete. His determination to concentrate on his recovery doesn't stop the slow burn of desire for Christina, even though she has someone else in her life. But when Christina's mystery man becomes oddly possessive, Ben suspects it may be more than just bad romance. Can he protect the woman he's falling in love with even if he can't yet stand by her side?



An unbalanced stalker, Christina's vengeful ex-husband, and a cache of secrets come into play while Ben and Christina struggle to define their relationship without crossing the boundaries they've set for themselves. But the hand they've been dealt may cost them everything if they can't uncover who's stacking the deck against them.
