Jonas Forgione:I'd been fighting a battle with PTSD, trying to fit into society and leaving the military behind- needing time to redeem myself - to get out of my head, not being on an isolated island with my co-workers' daughter, protecting her from the Bratva. Erica was a plain Jane - too into her studies, not the sinful vixen she'd become. How had I not noticed? How was I supposed to keep my thoughts pure when she provided the spark that had long been dormant inside me? I wanted to tie her up and then tie her to me!Erica Jamieson:I'd just graduated with a master's in psychology, had a job waiting, and was on a final hurrah with my besties. How did it go so wrong? I'd been in hiding before, so I knew the drill. I never expected to do it again with the one man who made want to either kill him or climb him. Jonas's broodiness and sinful body played on my mind since the first moment we met. I knew he hated me; the feeling was mutual with his arrogance. But to survive this ordeal, I'd have to surrender in more ways than one, letting go of my fears and discovering the strength inside me. ***NOTE*** This book is intended for mature audiences, age 18+, due to strong language and sexual content.
