I survived jail. One night with a gorgeous stranger wasn't supposed to be the hard part.
But Rowan Wilder is a force to be reckoned with. A five-foot-nothing storm cloud in combat boots who marches toward men twice her size with nothing but a baseball bat and a sharp mouth.
She's the first woman to get under my skin...and the last one I should be touching.
I came to Starlight Cove looking for the father who abandoned my mom and me. Instead, I find four half-brothers who want me gone yesterday and the fiercely protective single mom who makes leaving feel impossible.
When a broken-down car strands me in Rowan's attic and a storm lands me back in her bed, I'm suddenly sharing a roof with someone who looks like sin, tastes like temptation, and feels a hell of a lot like home.
Trouble is, her ex keeps circling like she still belongs to him. He's wrong. And I'm one bad decision away from making sure he knows it.
Protecting Rowan is easy. Breaking through her defenses is not.
She's spent years building walls around the life she's fought hard to create, and falling for another ex-con isn't part of her plan.
Walking away would be the smart move. But I didn't survive everything I have just to be smart.
I survived it all to be hers.
