Zookeeper Helena Fjord loves her job at San Diego's Wildlife Park. She's passionate about animals. Humans, not so much. Especially not handsome, laidback security officer Josh Garrison, who likes to ruffle her feathers. She steers clear of his silly pranks and sexy smile—until disaster strikes.
Josh has been coasting ever since his Navy SWCC dreams went up in smoke. He's always had the hots for Helena, but the lady is off-limits. When a devastating earthquake hits, Josh and Helena scramble to secure the park’s borders. With fences down, aftershocks imminent, and fires blazing across the city, they face serious peril—and a powerful attraction. Josh vows to protect Helena at all costs. But who will safeguard her heart?
