Romantic Suspense ~ New Adult ~ College ~ Age-Gap ~ Workplace ~ Boss' Daughter ~ Father's Client He’s a rough relentless PI and when he finds out I’m his new trainee, I might end up tied to the bedpost. Grant Harding is not a man who gives second chances. I can’t forget how he kissed me four years ago before he pushed me away. I have one shot with him now on this job to prove I have what it takes to do PI work like him. One shot to hear the words that will bring me to my knees: Good girl. She wrangled her way onto my assignment and now she’ll get a taste of the man I really am. Avery Clark was feisty at eighteen, at twenty-two she’s wild. And it’s satisfying to finally get her on her knees and hear her scream my name after wanting her for four long years. But no matter how used and sore I make her in the dark at my club, on my desk, and in the locker room tied to a bench with my belt, I’m too old, rough, and broken for her. Not to mention my line of work is too dangerous for her to tag along. Now she’s gone too far to prove herself, but she’s mine. And I protect what belongs to me. Rough Lover (Previously Titled Relentless Cowboy) is part of the Houston After Dark series, but can be read as a standalone. No cheating. No cliffhanger. HEA Guaranteed.
