Spoiler(cliquez pour révéler) The man cocked his head and studied her as intently as she studied him. Then he smiled, and she was mesmerized by the dimples on either side of his mouth. Perfect, straight white teeth gleamed and he winked at her.
“Hello, sweetness,” he said as he walked over to the bar.
Then he caught sight of her sling and a ferocious frown locked into his brow.
“What the hell happened to you? Are you all right?”
She glanced down at her arm, having totally forgotten that it was hurt at all. “I was shot.”
“Get out! Are you serious?”
He plopped onto a stool next to her, his big frame taking up so much more space than she did.
“What are you doing in here, anyway? Is there something I can do for you?”
“Not unless you have some ibuprofen,” she said ruefully as she raised her arm for reference.
He frowned. “I sure as hell do. Let me get you something to take them with. How about some OJ?”
She blinked in confusion. “Do you work here or something?”
“Or something,” he said as he walked around the counter. “Actually I own it. I used to think I ran it until my sister barged in and sort of took over. I’m currently indulging her.”
Lily’s eyes widened. “You must be Dillon,” she blurted.

“I haven’t met Callie.”
He shoved the glass of orange juice across the counter and then shook several ibuprofens into his palm. “Here, take these so you feel better.”
As she swallowed them down, he leaned forward on the counter until he was awfully close. He stared at her like he could see behind the layers and defensive walls straight to her heart.
She should look away but found herself mesmerized. He was just so darn cute.
“You have me at a disadvantage, sweetness. You know my name but I don’t know yours.”
She swallowed. “Lily.”
“Very pretty,” he murmured. “Now, Lily. Tell me what you’re doing here? A gorgeous woman like you shouldn’t be sitting alone in an empty pub. Someone should be taking care of you and that arm.”

Résumé
When police officer Seth Colter sees the delicate, shabbily dressed beauty in line at the soup kitchen where he’s serving, he’s gut shot over the idea of her being on the streets cold and alone. More baffling is the dark, possessive instinct that tells him she belongs to him.
For Lily Weston, home is a secluded nook in a back alley—until Seth offers her a place to stay. She’s wary of his offer, but even one night out of the cold is too much temptation to resist.
Seth is convinced Lily is his. The problem is, when his brothers lay eyes on her, the same primitive instinct comes roaring to the surface. The Colters never imagined they’d follow the unconventional path of their fathers, but they can’t ignore their mutual need to offer Lily their protection—and their love. But before Lily and the brothers can forge a future together, they must heal the deep wounds of her pas
