I just didn’t realize that my very own life moment was waiting for me at a bar one night. My sister laid down the dare. I accepted. Finding myself in front of the handsome bartender, I don’t expect anything to come from this night. And nothing does. Until I find myself looking over my shoulder, dark shadows following me everywhere I turn. And the one person that I never expected? Now he means everything.Brody Walker Owning a bar in a small town, I’ve seen my fair share of drunken brawls and bathroom hookups. The night she walked up to me and threw my world on it’s side though? That was one for the books. We spend all our time denying our feelings, but I’m done pretending. I crave her. I need her. But I’m not alone. Someone else wants her. And it seems that they’ll do nothing to stop until they have her. I’ll do anything to keep her safe, even give my life for her.

Finding love wasn’t a part of my priorities. She wasn’t looking for a hero. But life had other plans. For her. For me. Now we have to fight together. Or I’ll lose her. And I’m not about to let that happen.
