When a warrant for an angel named Halo crosses my desk, I decide right there and then that this bounty is mine. I’m about to go on vacation, but a pair of stunning moss-green eyes tells me to look around our small town of Conklin before the wrong guys get their hands on her. She needs my help in more ways than one. From the sleazebag holding her car hostage to her old boss who got her arrested in a drug raid, I’m the only Haven that can keep her safe. And that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. Shield her from everyone else and keep her to myself. Around her, I become protective, possessive, and obsessive. This realization that I’m willing to put my life and my job on the line for a little girl I’ve just met hits me like a freight train. But I don’t give a damn. Nothing and no one can keep me from her. And Halo will soon realize just what it means to be mine.

Posting a drunken “Help Wanted” ad has the most beautiful little girl I’ve ever laid eyes on waking me out of my sleep. Heather needs the job, and I need the help turning my land into an experience customers want to pay for. She’s perfect in every way. That face. That body. That spirit. She has no idea how feverish my skin turns at her touch. And I want to burn. She’s applying for a manager, but I have a different position in mind for her. Something more stable and…long-term. Something that will have her living at the main house…with me…and our kids. But she’s running away from someone who’s just as possessive of her as me. The difference between me and this scumbag? She’s actually mine, not a figment of my imagination. I will keep her safe and show her how she deserves to be treated. No one ever mistreats women around me. No one lives in fear under my roof. So when trouble finally shows up, it doesn’t take long for him to realize he should’ve left her alone and run screaming the other way. Because in this household, anyone who crosses me will always pay a price. No one f\*cks with us Havens and gets away with it.

Helping Havana Bradley, my friend and associate’s younger sister, break into a stranger’s home goes against my code of ethics as a locksmith. However, not helping this little girl find jewelry stolen from her apartment by a shady plumber goes against my code of ethics as a man. I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure she gets back what belongs to her, even if that means confronting someone dangerous from my past. Anyone who messes with this young, innocent beauty has to deal with me. And anyone who’s lived in Conklin County long enough knows better than to want to be on the receiving end of a Haven’s wrath. Nothing and no one will stop me from keeping her safe in her home…or in my bed. I just have to show her how a real man treats his girl, pump her full with my seed, and prove to her that the best place to be…is by my side. I sense on a primal frequency that she’s already mine…even before our mouths even touch. Us Haven men don’t half-ass things. We go big or go home. And for Havana? I’m all in. F\*ck everything else.

Harper Haven belongs to me. I’ll move heaven and earth to be with her. It doesn’t matter how long I’ve been a priest. As a man of the cloth, my vows to my faith and parishioners should come first, but Harper opens my eyes to a world of happiness I’m missing out on. Not only do I find myself falling head over heels in love with her, but she’s also able to find things in the church’s financial documents. Things I’ve overlooked because I trusted another supposed man of the cloth. When Harper’s findings put a target on her back, nothing can stop me from protecting what’s mine. No harm is coming to the love of my life, even if that means giving up my position as a priest. Love has me ready to change my life and renounce my vows to the faith. The future I see with Harper is undeniable. So what am I supposed to do when my faith, integrity, and love come head to head? I’ll be damned if Harper doesn’t come first in my bed, in my heart, and in my life. God willing, she’ll always belong to me.
