Chapter One

Another boring fund raising dinner one thing that John Robert Mason hated avoided if at all possible but had been suckered into this one by his parents saying it was a good cause. That it was.... CPS Child Protective Service. Yes, that was a good cause one that he had worked for and with, in the past and would continue to support even if it meant a boring dinner every now and then. Little did John Robert know that his life was about to change in a very pleasant and excited way.

The evening may hold promise as the most attractive woman that he had ever laid eyes on walked in to the room. A room that has as many home grown good old boys as it had millionaires two for every blonde and then some. Gold diggers came to mind but didn't know so he just thought that in his mind. Over priced dinner of rubber chicken and over cooked vegetables was beginning to be worth it when he laid eyes on the creature that was floating around the room. The thought of going home early wasn't entertained anymore he had to know who this woman.

He noticed her the moment that she walked into the room. Not knowing where she was coming from but he knew he had to be a part of where she was going. She was breath-taking, beautiful beyond words. The kind of woman that when entering a room all heads turned in her direction, she moved with the grace of a ballet dancer and with the power of a CEO. In her she was all a man could want in a woman and then some, damn she was fine. Her hair was like spun copper in flowing waves and the bluest eyes he had ever seen, skin like peaches and cream he knew he would have to touch it soft, slow and sensual damn, she had to be part Irish if not full blood, what a woman he also knew that this was the woman that he would spend the rest of his life with, but who the hell was she?

He had to find out who she was and where she came from. When she moved his eyes never left her he could image being wrapped around a woman like that for the rest of his life. It was as if she was a magnet drawing him closer and closer. What was it about this woman? Why was he acting as if he were a horny high school teenager chasing after the prom queen, damn he didn't like not having total control, he had to get a grip. Never in his life had he felt the way that he was feeling right now. God she was beautiful almost mystical and he was hooked oh he was gone big time try and explain that to Ben when ask for him to research her.

Working his way around the room trying to get close to her and just as he finally reached her she turned and their eyes met, yes there were sparks and as for him they were the only two people in the world. When he thought that he might have a chance he had to know, so as she came closer and that worked for him as he got closer and closer to get her name and number. Whoa! Who the hell is that man that just walked over and swept her off to the dance floor?

Damn, had he missed his chance? No he wouldn't give up that easy she would be his one way or the other. It was crazy he was acting like he had lost his ever loving mine but for some reason he couldn't control himself. As he watched for his chance he was so aware of the grace and primal abandonment with which she moved you could tell that she loved to dance to become one with the music that in its self was one of the biggest turn on ever. As if that was what she was meant to do being the center of attention she was in her element. John Robert knew that he was in for a long run and it was going to be very interesting.

John Robert Mason was a man that almost always got what he wanted, he is a successful lawyer, he was a CIA special operative agent consultant, a force to deal with when the event called for it that was why he was a success in his business but was also known as a real nice guy. The people that knew him knew that he was a good man that he was always for the underdog he liked to help people it was his passion, always had been he had seen people get the shaft and he was tired of it so in his small way he helped when he could one case at a time. JR had taken on more pro bono cases than any of his co-workers which was a good thing because he almost always won his cases, he was good at what he did and everyone knew it. He wanted to do the best he could by helping people, to try and make a difference, it was his goal, and JR now had a new goal one that he would succeed in, He wanted to know this woman and he would before the night was over.

Anna saw him when he entered into the room, he was one the most handsome men she had ever seen.... not just his rough and rugged good looks, all muscle tanned to perfection but what got her was the long eyelashes that covered the most beautiful green eyes. When he smiled it set a glimmer in his eyes that kept you guessing as to what he was thinking. He had an air about him that just let everyone around him know that he was in charge of his and your world. Six foot three of all man and one that she really wanted to get to know. This man was going to make a very big difference in her life she had never had good luck picking men the ex-husband proved that, but this one was different there was something about him that drew her to him his animal magnetism he was a power to be deal with and not with kid gloves. She couldn't help it her heart skipped a beat when their eyes met from across the room she actually felt her body grow hot and was sure that she blushed but tried not to act like a teenage girl on her first date, the next thing would be a loud giggle, Oh Anna get a grip she told herself. What was going on? What was happening to her? She never believed in love at first site but ... she told herself Anna Marie Warren grow up this was wild, but she couldn't help the warm feeling that was covering her whole body ... Damn she had it bad.

He didn't take his eyes off her & she was beginning to get closer to him. Maybe he will ask me to dance, get a drink anything that will bring him closer, she couldn't help herself and never had she felt this way about a total stranger. Don't show how weak you feel she told herself, be cool.

All of a sudden she was on the dance floor and in Tom Burkman's arms. This isn't what she wanted, but she could think again and the butterflies were gone. She still wanted to know who, what and when about the handsome stranger that for a few minutes had turned her world upside down for ever. The man with the most beautiful green eyes that any woman could get lost in forever and never regret anything she would or could do. This man was the kind of man you take home to meet your family and hope they like him as much as you do.... wow! She knew she was in for something very special something she had been searching for all her life.

John Robert swore like a sailor on leave for the first time in six month when she looked so at ease in this man's arms he was jealous what the hell was this he didn't even know her but he did know Tom Burkman and he knew that he was a son-of-a-bitch. He is a man of no character he used people up and when finished he threw them out like yesterdays trash. This wasn't a good sign. His first thought was to get her away from him and don't let her fall in to Tom's trap, just be ready to step in at any time. It was JR's specialty rescue only this time he wanted to take this rescue home for himself, all in good time.
