Synopsis:
I promised myself I’d stay away from dangerous men, but I couldn’t live up to that when Kyle Andrews came back to town. He’s a manipulator, a guy who’ll do whatever it takes to get what he wants, sabotaging anyone who gets in the way. After a fatal fight left him wounded, his UFC career comes to a close. He has nothing, but he’s determined to get it all back.
My name is Megan. I’ve known violence, pain, and what it feels like to be scared to live another day. All of that changed the moment I refused to be a victim. Now that my psychotic ex, Alex, can’t find me, I’ve been given a second chance. I owe my life to my friends. The same goes for Kyle. Without him, I wouldn’t be able to feel.
Everyone hates him. But for the life of me I don’t. There’s something about him I can’t ignore. Being with Kyle makes me want it all. However, in loving a hated man, I didn’t know it’d bring the life I fled from back to haunt me. Everywhere I go danger lurks and bad things happen. Kyle believes it’s because of him, but I’m starting to think otherwise. I think Alex has found me, and if so, this time he’s not going to let me go.
TEASER 1:
“The only way I’m going to let you come over is if you tell me
you missed me this week.”
“Really?” I shrieked.
“Yep, now say the words, love.”
“No. That’s ridiculous. I’m not gonna lie.”
He snorted. “But you just did.”
I opened my mouth to say something and then stopped; he got me with that one.
And judging by the satisfied chuckle he tried to contain, he knew it too.
“Fine. You want to play games? Then it looks like you won’t be hearing what I
have to say. Bye-bye, French fry.”
“Megan, wait—”
Taking the upper hand, I hung up the phone. He was going to drive me insane. I
had to hand it to him, he could definitely get my blood pumping. I did miss
him, but I wasn’t about to give in to his antics. If anyone was going to submit
first, I wanted it to be him. I got my wish when my phone started to ring.
Deliberately, I refused to answer it, hoping it’d make him feel the
restlessness I felt inside.
With a smirk on my face, I pulled into my neighborhood. He was just going to
have to sweat a bit longer.
To my surprise, that wasn’t going to be very long. Because in my driveway,
there Kyle stood, beside a sleek, black motorcycle. I hit the button to my
garage and pulled past him. He walked up to my door and opened it with a smirk
on his face. “You are one stubborn woman, you know that?”

Letting
my hands go, he reached around my waist and pulled me into his lap. “Kiss me.
And not because I asked you to, but because you want to.”
“What if I don’t?”
“Then I would say you’re a liar. Your mind may say no, but your body tells me
otherwise. I’d rather you listen to your body.”
I got up and straddled his lap, using the back of the couch, I boxed him in
with my arms, leaning in until I could feel his hot breath on my lips. I felt
his body flex in anticipation and the movement made my insides twinge. He
wanted me and I held the upper hand. It was a rush of adrenaline. He leaned in,
trying to make the connection, but I sat back and smirked, maintaining my
space. I thought he’d laugh at my power move, but his eyes turned dark with
need.
Leaning in again, I pressed my lips to his, softly at first,
but then I bit his lip and sucked on it, rocking my hips into his arousal. His
grip lowered and tightened on my ass as he deepened the kiss, groaning into my
mouth. I wanted to rip his clothes off right there and knew this was moving too
fast. He hadn’t proven enough yet, I’d be stupid to give in now. Breathing
hard, I broke away and sat up. “The answer, by the way, is yes.”
“What’s the question?” His half-lidded gaze caught mine as he pushed up into me
a few times, his body less willing to stop than his mind.
“The one you incessantly asked me every day this week, if I missed you. And the
answer is yes, I have. Just don’t make me regret it.”
The door opened behind us. “For Christ sake!” Nic whined as she barged into the
living room and caught us grinding on the couch. “Have you never heard of a
bedroom? My eyes may be permanently damaged now. Do they have Lasik for this
type of shit?”
After she dramatically made her way to her bedroom with one hand over her eyes
and the other out in front of her, the moment between us had cooled. At that
point, we decided it was best for him to head home before things went any further.
It was a good thing Nic had such bad timing, otherwise who
knows what we would’ve ended up doing.

3:
“Dammit, Kyle. That’s enough!” I
shouted. He froze and finally met my eyes. “I need you with me in this. Don’t
push me away.”
Throwing the weights on the floor, Kyle
grabbed my face, his gaze wild. “Why can’t you see that I’m not pushing you
away?”
I stepped back and away from his touch. “Then
what are you doing? You haven’t made love to me since that night. If you’re
afraid of me getting hurt, you obviously don’t know me very well. I can take
care of myself.” Turning on my heel, I stormed to the back room but didn’t get
very far before he grabbed my arms and hauled me around.
“Goddammit, Megan, I love you,” he
shouted, squeezing my arms. Gasping, I stared at him wide-eyed. “The other
night scared the fuck out of me. I could’ve lost you and all because of some
cocksucker who wants to pay me back.” He stepped back and let me go, his hands
shaking. “The anger I feel inside is consuming me. It’s all I can think about.
I’m not going to be able to rest until it’s over.”
