The stripper and the bodyguard… Bailey has a code. “A one time thing is all a girl needs. Take what you can get, and never lay eyes on them again.” Well, that was until her boss hired her most recent fling to be Dark Neon’s new security manager. Bailey doesn't need a protector, and she sure as hell doesn't need this one pushing her buttons now he's seen how they work. Greyson didn't take too kindly to Bailey ghosting him, and he's in no hurry to let the girl off the hook. With the hate brewing and the lust boiling over, he's more than happy to make her suffer by his side as they work the floor at one of the city's most elite strip clubs. But the Knoxleys are protectors. It's in their blood. And there's a danger out there, picking these girls off one by one. No matter the fight between them, he’ll stop at nothing to keep this girl away from the claws of another.

No one knows the real me. No one but you. Talia longs for freedom. Trapped in a dark world and about to be sold into another. That was until he arrived. A mysterious brute, dominating the cage of her father’s underground fight club. Rugged, dangerous, terrifying. And until that night, the only man Talia had ever killed for. With blood on her hands and her world burning down, he’s the only one who can protect her now. She didn't remember Dylan. He’d forced himself to forget her too. Fate bound them together in a twisted past and now a bloodied present. The daughter of his enemy, he should have left her behind. He’s not exactly the white knight this broken sweetheart deserves. So why did he save her? Hiding out together in the snow-covered city, old truths are revealed, new lies are created, and these scarred hearts are falling hard. But freedom has its price. Haunting secrets risk being exposed, and old ghosts threaten to return for revenge. Will fate keep them together this time, or will their souls be torn apart for good?
