Stalking him was a bad idea. But falling in love with him?

That could cost me everything.

From the moment he walked into my life, Brody O'Rourke has been a thorn in my side.

So now I'm going to be a thorn in his.

At first, it was just for fun. A way to get some real-life experience for the books I write. Books about men like him. Controlling, possessive, dominant. Men who make their living with blood and fear, but who would burn it all down for the right woman.

But now I'm caught in the middle of a very real war being waged by men who are far more dangerous than the ones I write about.

And unlike in my books, the real world doesn't always have a happy ending...
