Sin embargo, ofrecerle un hombro sobre el que llorar hizo saltar la chispa de una fuerte atracci?n y de un deseo que ?l no se esperaba.Como tem?a la reacci?n de Harper, Tobias no le habl? de su pasado. Se estaba enamorando perdidamente de ella y, si Harper se enteraba, la perder?a para siempre, sobre todo ahora que su exmarido estaba intentando recuperarla.
