He’s my best friend’s older brother. He took my v-card and walked away. Now he’s back. I loved him long before I should have. He showed me one night of passion and then broke my heart and left me. I moved across the country to try and forget him. But now Colt is back. I’m in danger and someone wants me dead. He makes it his mission to protect me and I discover the reason he left me all those years ago. I love him. I never stopped loving him, and I think he feels the same. But is the past going to repeat itself? Or is he going to stick around this time?

Hailey I’ve never been good at taking what I want … I have a long history of making life choices solely on what my rich extended family expects of me. I am trying to change, though. I’m ready for a fresh start, a new career, and a love life that involves fewer trust funds and pedigrees. I want someone real. Someone not afraid to get his hands dirty. Someone maybe even a little bad. And my surly, grumpy neighbor? He has bad boy written all over him. Which makes me want to be all over him. Lennox I’ve never been good at doing the right thing … I’m not a good man. I’ve been a sniper my entire adult life. My moral compass lost its true north a long time ago. I’m surprised to find myself attracted to my new neighbor. She’s gorgeous and sexy and has curves for days. I’m too old for her, too jaded, and I have too much blood on my hands. But for the first time in my life, I wonder if I could change. When a mistaken identity puts her in danger, I’ll move heaven and earth to keep her safe. Even if it means showing her who I really am.

Lucas: The first rule – never get personal with the target. So, what did I do? Got personal with the target – real personal. Not only did I break my own rule… I broke it into a million irreparable pieces. Because there was no coming back from this. How was I supposed to put a bullet through the head of the only woman who had ever touched my heart? Mia: You know, all I wanted in life was to do what I love… find someone to love… and to leave the world a better place. Is that really too much to ask? I guess so… because no one wants to leave me alone. And maybe it’s because I just inherited this boatload of cash but seriously… just let me bake. Although one good thing did come out of this whole ordeal… Lucas. My sexy, out of this world bodyguard. There’s just one little thing… he was hired to kill me.
