Feisty as hell and the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.
With the cutest kid and her grandmother in tow, she’s completely off limits.
I don't get involved with women like that.
I learned long ago I don't have the ability to love.
My life is sordid and danger is always hiding in the shadows.
Only I can’t turn my back on them when I realize she’s in trouble, and I insist on them staying in a cabin at the motel I own.
As penance for my sins, I promised my life to protecting others.
Except she becomes so much more.
A need I don’t recognize. A desperation that burns beneath my flesh.
One kiss, and I’m falling for her.
One touch, and I’m at her feet.
But when my dark past comes back to haunt me, I’m in a race against time to save the only woman I’ve ever loved. Only it may be the demons that have been chasing her that destroy what we built…
A snowy evening would change everything for Theo. When he witnesses a car go into a ditch, he is quick to jump out and offer his help. Not expecting those eyes to look at him and do him in right then and there.
Piper, with her son and Nelly in tow are on the run from something horrible. Having your car be out of commission, saved by some guy who look dangerous in the all ways and now put up in a cabin until its time to move on again.
Well, if they are going to be stuck there, then Piper could go look for a job which just so happens to be the cute boutique Emery owns. Little did she know that running into her and Kane meant running into those who know Theo and then into Raven who we all know instantly claimed her into the group.
In no time at all she is quickly taken in and accepted. Raven and the girls, meeting the other kids and watching Finn having the best time and before you know it, Piper is home. Even if she doesn't believe it just yet, but what she has with Theo, the girls, everything and everyone, she couldn't have found her way to a more perfect place.
The ending of course if both an emotional rollercoaster when the person Piper is running from catches up to her. Then the best part when finally they get their chance to just be together, be happy and you're left a mess because it's just another amazing hit from A.L. and I cannot wait for more.
