Vin's worries are piling up -- the company he's buying has financial problems verging on the criminal, and he's going blind after an operation that went wrong. There's a slim chance he could see again, as slim as the prospect of having Annie, after he discovers that it's her company with the problems. But he can't stop wanting her. Can't stop taking her to bed and claiming her as his own. She denies criminal activity and he wants to believe, but all the evidence is against her. His instincts tell him Annie is innocent, so he takes a new complication in her life as a chance to keep her close -- and safe from the danger that threatens her. But Annie won't let him take control of her life. She wants to prove her innocence, even at the expense of the man who took everything she had to give, and came back for more. less
