when nash rushes into a back allley to save nixie from two thugs in the opening pages of deal breaker he has no idea that his previously well-ordered life was about to change. sixteen years ago september 11th changed his life, and the life of every new yorker. it changed nixie's life too, her parents lost in the collapsing towers. while nash may not have actually lost his brother that day, it was the last time his family was whole. and when wyatt died overseas serving in the military he'd been inspired to enlist in when the twin towers collapsed, it was an extension of that tragedy.
saving nixie shatters nash's reserve. for the first time in a long time he can't stop thinking of someone or something other than his business. he sees someone vulnerable in nixie, and he wants to protect her, keep her whole. even at times keep her from him, because that will guarantee she doesn't get hurt. but the pull between them is more than that. yes, he wants to save her, but he also just wants her in his life. on whatever terms she'll let him in.
for a legendary deal maker, nash is kept on his toes by nixie, who doesn't cower, doesn't give in. she doesn't want saving. and yet this guy keeps knocking down the walls she puts up between them. and as he pops in and out of her life, she comes to realize that she much prefers having him in her life than not. the way he makes her feel, the way he cares for her is a heady thing. because sixteen years ago she lost her family, and now nash is having her think that she can have love and laughter and joy in her life again. and it all feels too good to be true.
the push and pull between nash and nixie is compelling. watching them spend time together and learn to open up their hearts to someone else is emotional and sweet. and the magnetic pull between them never lets up. it doesn't matter how hard they try to run from it, they end up back where they started, facing each other. the key is that they have to do it without walls around their hearts.
