He's got one shot. Better make it naughty…

It hasn't been easy for Tomas to share space with the one damsel he can't bear to see in distress. To have her within easy reach has been torture. His foster mother's words echo in his head: a classy girl like Micah deserves more than the likes of him. But lately Micah's been rattling his cage. If she does it one more time, she'd better be ready for the animal she awakens.

Unfortunately for him, Micah's hot little hands are already wrapped around the bars…

David didn't become successful by giving up easily. A freak snowstorm plays into his strategy, but debugging a few gigabytes of computer code seems easier than figuring out how to win this wary woman's love.
