When Sophie gets offered the job of a lifetime as the exclusive massage therapist for Josh "The Jackhammer" North's team, it's difficult to say no to the outrageous salary—and the bet—that Josh proposes. But for Sophie, it's a risk that could cost a lot more than just her heart... if she's found, it could cost her her life. Should she dare? Josh wants to break through Sophie's fortified walls but is unwilling to put the jackhammer to his own and reveal his secrets and the side of him few have ever known or seen. To do that, he'll have to confront the darkness of his past. Will he dare? Or will the danger destroy them both?
