When a guy saves you from a horrible blind date, you don't expect to end up dating him. Mariah's confusion over why a man is pretending to know her quickly fades once she realizes the handsome stranger winking at her is trying to save her. If she leaves with him, what might this night turn into? Damir knows he can't watch the beautiful woman across the restaurant cringe one more time without stepping in to help her. He promises he would take her on a much better date than the one she just left, but will she give him the chance to prove it? He's got a past that corrupt people refuse to allow him to forget. She's come too far to get wrapped back up in the hardships she's escaped. Can such an imperfect beginning turn into exactly what they both need? This is a standalone romance.
