When Abby Renton passed away, her daughter, Bailey Taylor, took possession of her house.  However, neighbor Jack McBride did not expect to find Bailey on her front porch in her underwear late at night.  After Jack takes care of her that first night, he cannot keep himself away from her and cannot stop his growing attraction or affection for her.  Jack learns that while Bailey is reluctant to completely trust him or allow herself any emotional attachment to him, she is more than accepting of having him in her bed.  As confused as Jack is about that, he is more confused as to why someone keeps sending Bailey emails from his address containing details of their private trysts.  While Jack tries to prove himself to Bailey and Bailey tries to gain control of her emotions, a mysterious pervert will stop at nothing to keep the two apart.  

The RECKLESS BEHAVIOR exhibited by Bailey and Jack is nothing short of sweltering!  The author brilliantly portrays Bailey as a woman who has dealt with a lot of personal tragedy in a relatively short period of time.  First, Bailey lost her mother and then went through a divorce, now she is trying to find herself as an individual and as a woman again.  Jack makes a wonderful counterpart to Bailey. He was close friends with Bailey’s mother and has also lost in love and now finds himself unable to resist coming to her rescue as someone stalks her and unable to resist her disarmingly assertive sexual requests.  This reviewer particularly enjoyed the suspense involved in trying to expose the stalker; Ms. Burnett did a spectacular job of making everyone look like a suspect in typical thriller fashion!  This reviewer cannot wait to see more from Ms. Burnett!
