title: Collateral Damage
author: Evans, A.K.
description: Claimed.  That's what Camille Bennett becomes when she crashes into the arms of Deacon Archer.   Camille didn't have a plan when she attempted to fight off a random attacker, but responding well under pressure has never been her strong suit either. She was merely grateful someone who could handle the heat happened to be nearby. Deacon doesn't hesitate to spring into action when a frantic woman begs for his help.  No sooner does he get her to safety when Deacon decides that Camille is the perfect woman for him.   If only she felt the same. When Camille is attacked again, she has no choice but to turn to Deacon for help.  He entertains her request, knowing full well he intends to make sure this never happens again.  Just as things start to heat up between them, Deacon's temper begins to flare. But it's hard to remain composed when it becomes evident that Camille's attacks weren't so random after all, and the woman Deacon is falling for could end up as collateral damage.
