After Honor Witherspoon is rescued from her kidnappers, all she wants is to live in Hot Water, a small town that symbolises safety. Her billionaire father, Warren, wants to ensure his daughter is definitely secure. Going to outrageous lengths to keep her guarded, Warren demands something extreme of his daughter: she must marry Bram Bennett, a recluse living behind the locked gates in a home nicknamed ?The Fortress.' Bram lost his wife eight years ago to a random carjacking-gone-bad, and he can't seem to get over his loss. Still deeply attached to her memory, he rarely exits his house. When Warren threatens to destroy the high-tech security company Bram recently sold him - the company that's the economic foundation of Hot Water - if Bram doesn't marry Warren's daughter, Bram reluctantly accepts a new person into his home. But with Honor now residing in his ?fortress', Bram finds it extremely difficult to uphold his tight security, ward off unwanted intruders, and fight off his sexual attraction to his beautiful wife.

All Shay wants is to let loose and indulge in a birthday fling with the hottest stranger who's ever caught her eye. But her one-night stand turns out to be Jace Jennings, her student's long-distance dad...and now he's taking up residence--at his lakeside estate and in Shay's most secret fantasies. 

Jace isn't exactly a family man, but he's determined to do his best by his daughter--and the first step is forgetting how hot he is for her teacher.
