While out running in a nearby park, she witnesses a shootout that makes her a target in need of FBI protection. So it's a good thing that rugged FBI agent Max Daniels is the perfect man for the job. Ellie's career is on the rise, and the last thing she wants is to be the star witness in a high profile FBI investigation, especially if it means drawing unwanted attention to herself and her family. A traumatic incident in Ellie's past involving a crazed stalker has forced her to stay away from her hometown and those she loves. And being sexually attracted to a rough around the edges, dominating man like Max, who's not interested in commitment and is nothing like the "Ideal Man" she's looking for is another complication she doesn't need.
