Bite Me Like You Mean It

THEODORA

My name is Thorne, do not call me Theodora, and I've officially sworn off men. So when my estranged husband strolls back into town after abandoning me without so much as a goodbye, I'm ready to throw the whole man away. Unfortunately, Calder Rook is too damn charming for my own good. I tell myself I'm not falling for him again, that I'm only entertaining his apologies because I do love to watch a man grovel. But just as I start to believe his beautiful lies, trouble comes knocking, and his enemies have no problem hurting me to get to him. I've already survived one monster who tried to break me, I won't let it happen again.

CALDER

I've made plenty of mistakes in life. Leaving Thorne was the worst. I told myself it was the only way to keep her safe, that she deserves better than a man who makes his living pissing off the wrong people. But I'm home now, and determined to sweep my clever Wolfe off her feet. Just when I start to think this might work, my past shows up and dropkicks me in the face. And this time, it's not only my life at risk—it's hers. Because I led my enemies straight to the only woman I've ever loved. They can come for me, but if they touch her, they'll learn exactly how dangerous a desperate man can be.
