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...
 
 
My Review: Salem is such a sweet character and she shines even more when she lets the walls down and truely lives. Her daughter Juni is sweet and sassy that just grabs your heart.
 
Salem is back home with her family. Trying to make a life, trying to outrun her past and finally have a real life and home for herself and Juni.
 
Jud is this giant, all muscle, tattoo guy that you'd think twice about approaching but if you get to know him, hes more than what meets the eye. He shows it by helping Salem when he spots her onbthe side of the road in a storm with her car broken down. So he offers her a ride to his place above the shop he owns.
 
Now, this should be the part where stranger danger comes in. You know, dont go with them, run for help, the whole nine yards. But um Salem will stab him if he touches her so that lesson just didnt exisit right there.
 
Salem and Jud make it to his place above the shop. He offers her the guest room for the night, dries her clothes and really shows underneath all the demons he has, there is someone who is kind and worthy of love.
 
Nothing shouldve come after this, and nothing was expected to. The next morning, Salem wasnt expecting Jud go tow her car in and work on it, let alone he was her brothers boss. Her brother, who about lost it when he saw her at the shop.
 
Salem offers to help Jud with the office side of things to help with the cost of his help, she doesnt like to accept handouts. Plus Jud had been looking for help so a win for both.
 
The day both Gage and Juni got to learn to ride their bikes. Watching Trent with Gabe and Jud with Juni. It hit Salem hard and she knew there was no denying it.
 
She found her home, became part of the family and everything was falling into place.
 
It only took one night to shake everything up. Jud revealing a nightmare. Salem recalling what Jud had just said. Her ex finding them. In a matter of moments everything changes and the pace is sped up.
 
The way Jud went after them. Protecting Juni, freeing Salem and with a little time, finding their way back to each other and never letting go again. The three of them becoming a family.
