Protecting Joyce — Cameron Allie

After Alex saves her from being assaulted on the side of the road next to her broken down car, Joyce quickly discovers the only way she feels safe is by sleeping in his arms. But despite the security he gives her, there are questions about Alex that Joyce can't seem to bring herself to ask. Will he ever want a commitment? What does he feel for the woman who used to have a “friends with benefits” relationship with him for over a decade? More importantly, can he ever love Joyce with the same intensity she feels for him?

Alex has never met a woman more perfect than Joyce. Her innocent sensuality delivers a hard kick to his gut. She's sweet and talented and brave. She's more than he could have ever dreamed of, and their relationship seems, at times, to be too good to be true. So what's keeping him from saying those three little words he longs to say?
