From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a forced proximity, single-parent stand-alone romance about a woman on the run and the man who will do anything to save her…

Jud Lawson found me stranded in the rain.

Broken down on the side of the road in a deserted neighborhood with my piece of crap car. 

I wasn’t looking for a hero, and definitely not one who looks like him.

An obscenely hot, mountain-of-a-man who screams danger.

But I have little choice other than climbing onto the back of his bike.

One look at Salem Aguilar, and I’m hooked. 

The girl is devastation wrapped in a black, seductive bow. 

A knockout. 

A dream. 

Turns out, she needs a job, and I need the help. 

Now I have a vixen strutting around my shop, and I’m the fool who’s itching to reach out and take what he can’t have.  

But neither of us can ignore the burning attraction. 

The fire that leads to a kiss. 

A kiss that has us falling into my bed. 

The connection that has me wanting the one thing I’d never thought I could have again.

Because monsters like me don’t deserve love. 

Only Salem has a secret, too. 

She’s been running for years, and her past just caught up to us…
