He promised to protect his best friend’s little sister… Champion bull rider, Sawyer Black has one goal when he isn’t competing in the arena: watch out for his best friend’s little sister while the man is serving in Iraq. But Keely is turning out to be anything but cooperative. The once shy, pigtailed, small town girl has turned into a tall, gorgeous and very stubborn hellcat with big city excitement on her mind. And when Sawyer returns from a rodeo to find her gone, he knows he will do anything it takes to find her and bring her home. But can he protect her from himself…his desire…his dark needs… Buttoned-up college student, Keely O’Hare is sick and tired of her brother’s best friend babysitting her. Overprotective and overbearing, the irritatingly sexy bull rider even shows up on her dates. It’s her final year of college and she’s past ready to explore the dark needs she’s been keeping secret in her heart. So when Sawyer goes away for work, Keely escapes to the city and to the notorious sex club, The Playhouse. But when Sawyer finds her there, unexpected and explosive sexual tension flares hot and heavy between them. Desperate to explore this raw and relentless side of herself with Sawyer, Keely stands her ground and refuses to return home with him until he spends two nights in The Playhouse with her. And if he wants to bring along his bull rope? Even better. Author's note: Can be purchased as part of the Sinful Seconds anthology or individually.
