No one is more prepared to protect her than me... I've spent my life fighting. It numbs the pain and keeps the darkness from consuming me. Then I found her. Sweet and innocent with haunted eyes. She was worth fighting for. I dare her father or the man he wants her to marry to try to take her from me. I found her, and now she's all mine. Some things are worse than death, and he wanted to save me from them all.... I should fear him. Rich Haven is cut, tattooed, and dangerous. The man is a lethal weapon. Scared is the last thing I feel though, when I'm in his arms. For the first time in my life, I feel safe. A feeling that I'm not accustomed to when it comes to men. But when her past comes calling, he’ll have to fight to keep her, no matter the cost. Welcome to Lighthouse Landing, a place filled with brooding heroes and sweetly sassy heroines covered with innocence. All these heroes are fiercely in pursuit of claiming their women and giving them their happily ever afters… and a little extra. *wink*
