Dane

I expected Dane to hate me. I didn’t expect to lie awake wanting his hands on me.

Brielle — I came to give Dane the truth about a past neither of us can escape. Forgiveness is too much to ask for. Wanting him is unthinkable — until his anger gives way to fierce protection, hungry kisses, and a voice that makes me want to do everything he asks. Now I know how it feels to be pressed against him, to hear him say my name like he’s been fighting this as hard as I have. I want more. His bed. His trust. But the man I crossed knows exactly how to use our past against us and giving in to what I want could cost Dane his freedom.

Dane — Brielle Sloan’s tangled up in the worst years of my life. Now she’s at my clubhouse with secrets that could change everything, trouble on her heels, and a mouth I have no business thinking about kissing. Then she stands up to me, and all I can think about is getting closer. Having her under my protection means seeing the woman behind our past. Getting involved could cost me my parole, but when she looks at me like she’s aching for me, I’m ready to take that risk. Every touch makes keeping my distance harder. Whoever’s after her will have to get through me first.
