The Stranger is book # 12 in my highly popular Steamy Shorts series She needs saving. I, a total stranger, am more than ready to give it. Maura Beck is way out of my league. How she even got into my orbit in the first place remains a mystery to me. I don’t believe in serendipity, or fate, or that shit about people meant to be together. But… How is this possible? Someone like her with someone like me? It’s like a hundred threads of whatever has woven together to pull us toward each other. That’s the only explanation I can think of. Part of me is equally baffled and amazed that she’s mine, and the other? I’m just happy to be here with her. And when some grade-A asshole tries to come between us, I don’t know whether to be impressed or amused that he thinks he can take me on—even with his asshole friends. See, violence is not always the answer, and I’ve never had issues with my temper before, but the moment he shows an ounce of disrespect to Maura? All bets are f*cking off.
