Noel is probably my favorite character so far. His story is just so heartbreaking I can't help but want to take him in my arms and give him a big bear hug.
After being tortured and burned by the Russians, all Noel can think about is revenge. He will show those who hurt him, just how much pain he can inflict himself. He has no room in his life for a little kindergarten teacher with curves that tempt him to distraction. Noel knows no woman will want him now and with all the blood on his hands, especially and innocent like Haley.
Haley is a fiesty woman and knows what she wants in life. She has wanted Noel since she first laid eyes on him, even if he was aiming a gun at her. But he won't give her the time of day, especially since the night he was taken. But she wants Noel scars and all and will do anything to show him that his scars don't define him.
When Anton starts playing games with Noel and threatens Haley, Noel can no longer stay away. He will protect her at all costs, but keep her emotionally at arms length. Will Haley be able to break down the walls Noel has placed?
