Spending nine years in a prison cell changes a man. And as much as I longed to be free, nothing could have prepared me for being part of the outside world again.

I'm not a normal man. My tastes run dark, and I don't know how to be civilized. I'm quiet, gruff, and tainted all the way down to my soul.

But the moment Blakely steps into that hotel room with me, I'm done for. I'm a goner.

Because this woman...

She was made for me.

And I can't bring myself to let her go. Not even when trouble comes punching me right in the face.

My boss warns me that Jax isn't like most men. The other women never want a second night with him, no matter how much he pays.

Turns out... I'm just as screwed up as he is.

Jax is overprotective, over the top, and just this side of too much.

He's everything I need him to be.

When we barge right into trouble, intent on rescuing a girl who had been kidnapped, he's probably expecting me to run.

But I'm not the kind of woman who runs.

Come hell or high water, I'm this man's ride or die.

There's no getting rid of me.
