Ex-special forces Jacob King is a man who keeps to himself, having
learned the hard way that letting people close to you, trusting them,
might just get you killed. A lesson he learned when members of his
Special Ops team turned dirty while others, men he considered friends,
died. He made them pay. He made them hurt. He put them in jail. And so
he doesn't trust anyone anymore. He keeps his women hot and fast, his
friends few to none, and his clients through the elite Walker Security
at a professional distance, but safe. It works for him. Until it
doesn't.
His newest job should be simple and cut and dry. Jewel Carpenter, the
daughter of the CEO of Carpenter Enterprises, is receiving death
threats. He's to protect her and find out who is issuing the threats.
Simple. Cut and dry. Until it's not.
Until the chemistry between him and Jewel is all about love, hate, and
sex. But even as he fights the attraction to Jewel and discovers there
is more to her than meets the eye, the real threat comes not from the
threats she's receiving but from the connection she has to him. Because
his past has come full circle, and those men he's made pay for their
sins now want him to pay. And what better way than the woman in his bed?
