When you live next door to the big bad wolf...

After years in prison, North Callaghan is finally free. But the demons haunting him still make him feel like a caged beast. He loses himself in work and hard living, coming up for air only to bed any willing woman to cross his path. So when his new neighbor snares his interest, he decides to add another notch to his bedpost. The only problem? Faith Walters is a white-picket-fence kind of girl.

Prepare to be devoured.

Faith's new neighbor is the rudest man alive. He'd rather grunt at her than speak, and he takes her "welcome to the neighborhood" scones without a thank you. She knows she should run for the hills from the ex-con. If only he weren't so smolderingly sexy; if only the sounds of him with other women didn't drift through their shared wall and fill her with longing; and if only he didn't look at her like they were a collision waiting to happen.
