Innocencia Lockwood is stunned over the protective insticts that kick in to Bill Lewis's defense. He is nothing to her apart from being her best friend's brother. So why does she feel his pain and emotional turmoil like it's hers and why does his touch feel so familiar. A temporary husband is all that she seeks because he is the best person to help her out on a little predicament while at the same time she remains in that tiny, little protective shell that will ensure that no one ever finds out about her secret.
Bill Lewis has other ideas. She might not remember him, but he will definately make her do so because temporary is not what he ever agreed to in the first place.
