Publisher Description
He never wanted to be anyone’s hero…
Some would call me irrevocably broken. I submerge myself in long work hours by day and debauchery at The Wicked Horse by night, using those things to numb the pain and guilt I feel over the death of my wife. What isn’t satisfied by one will surely be resolved by the other. At least that’s how I’ve survived the last few years.
But things change when Hannah Madigan shows up at my door, the newest employee sent by the company that cleans my apartment. Beat down by life, not to mention a cheating husband who was unfairly awarded custody of their daughter, Hannah is determined to make a better life for herself and get her kid back, even if it means working three jobs to do so. One costly mistake puts Hannah in my debt, and I’m not about to let the chance to have this dark-haired beauty pass me by.
She’s given a golden opportunity…
Determined to stay the course by any means necessary, Hannah accepts my less than professional offer. I’ll give her a job. She’ll give me her body. Sounds easy, right? Until the scales tip and I find myself needing her in ways I’m not ready to admit. Until I find that saving someone else may just mean allowing myself to be saved in return.
Customer Reviews
I was hooked from the get-go
Quite possibly my favourite Wicked Horse to date, Asher Knight is so easy to relate to and understand. Yes, he’s a multi millionaire, yes, he stays away from relationships, but he doesn’t particularly lie to himself or others. He’s had a failed relationship and he feels some responsibility for the end of that relationship (his wife didn’t open up to him and he didn’t make her). When struggling single working mum Hannah catches his eye (admittedly by accidentally smashing his $75,000 vase), he feels the need to protect her while also taking full advantage of her very amenable assets. Hannah should be offended by Asher’s offer, but she’s a practical girl, and all she wants is her daughter back in her life for good. A wonderful story, emotional in places, frustrating in parts (her ex truly is a douche), and with endearing characters. I was hooked from the get-go, as is regularly the case with Sawyer Bennett’s writing. We don’t get to see much of the Wicked Horse itself, but what we do see is, as you would expect is scorching hot. A full five star recommendation from me. I received an advanced copy of this book from the author, this is my honest review.
