Fantasizing about a sexy woman's poster in a bookshop window shouldn't lead to anything more than a sticky hand if you're a seasoned SEAL like Nix. Unless you happen to run into that woman while someone's attempting to kidnap her. A muffled scream in the night sends demolitions expert, Nixon "Wrench" Delano rushing through a dark alley where he faces off with a man determined to take someone that doesn't belong to him. The woman being the same one from the poster, reclusive writer, Everly Tollison. Sucked into Everly's nightmare by a jealous stalker, Nix makes it his personal mission to make sure that no one touches her... but him. Nix teaches Everly that the steam in her books can be real, and she's enjoying his lessons until the police come calling and haul Nix away for the murder of a man neither one of them has ever met.When everyone Nix cares about believes he killed the man that threatened Everly, no one is left watching out for the threat that no one sees coming.
