Her breath hitched. “This… this is dangerous.” He murmured, “You’re the most dangerous thing in my life.

In the heat of the moment, Sean stood up and pushed her against the door. But he was supposed to be paralyzed. “Sean, why haven’t you told Wendy that your legs are fine now?” “If she knows, she’ll pressure me to marry her. Seriously, who does she think she is?
