I’ve tried damn hard to forget Skylar, but I can’t break the hold she has on me, even if she now belongs to another—even if she hates me, and refuses to see that she’s getting in deep with the sort of trouble any sane person would stay clear of. And I may deserve her wrath, but there’s no way I’m letting her stay with her evil bastard of a boyfriend. I'll do whatever it takes to make her see reason, to keep her safe—to prove that we're meant to be together. She can come willing, or over my shoulder. It makes no different to me. Because I’d lay down my life to save her—and it may just come to that. My life for hers. *** This is a darker adult romance with adult language and steamy sex scenes. This story explores darker situations that may not be to everyone's tastes and some readers might find disturbing. Though this story has a Happily Ever After for the couple and can be read as a stand alone, there are small plot points that will continue in upcoming books. ***
