Figured my major screw-up was losing Joy, but it was losing that precious secret she cradled in her belly. Now she's back, and I'll guard her and my little dude 'til my last wicked beat. Despite being much older than Joy, I was damn sure we were meant to ride together. Then, she vanished, leaving me with just a quick note and a shattered heart. Didn't sit right, but I respected her call. Spent years trying to roll on, but it was like cruisin’ on a flat tire. Now, six years later, she's back, weavin' apologies and cryin’ a river of sorrow. Says she's dodgin’ a high-and-mighty madman and his watchdogs. I ain't fully buyin’ her story, but I can't slam the door on her plea. Truth is, Joy's still locked tight in my heart… So, I saddle up to be the protector she needs. And when I uncover her most guarded secret, I swear never to let her slip from my grasp again.

Aria Ray writes suspenseful, hot, and intense romance stories featuring powerful alpha-men and witty heroines, full of sacrifice, love, and happily-ever-afters. Like the heroines of her novels, Aria has always had a crush on sinfully sexy bad boys - dark, controlling, irresistible, but tender and loving. When she is not writing or daydreaming about new stories, she loves to spend time with her own gang of alpha males - a husband and twin boys. But the real mob boss of the family is Don Corleone - the cat. If you'd like to be notified of updates, teasers, and promotions, subscribe to Aria's newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hqXjur
