She was his enemy's daughter. And soldier Jim "Dutch" Dutcher would never forgive Julia Ferrare for her part in the betrayal that killed his brother–or for the vulnerability she'd made Dutch feel. But now Julia had called him for help in escaping her father. And ten years hadn't changed a damn thing about her. She was still beautiful, fragile, kind–and most likely setting him up for another con. She'd stolen from him once–his family, his memories, his heart. He'd be a fool to trust her again. But sometimes even a hardened soldier could be a fool...for love.
