For Zoey Odell, the definition of family
is her two best friends, Maya and Addy. So when Maya makes the decision to
leave her abusive husband, Zoey is only too happy to lavish her with support
and a temporary home. Unfortunately, taking in her best friend also means
seeing more of that no good do-gooder, Kellen Bradley.
For Kellen, the definition of family has
just been shattered. After finding out that his brother is an abusive monster,
he can’t help but question himself and his parents. The one thing he knows for
certain is that he’ll do anything to take care of his sister-in-law and her
children. For them, he would walk into gunfire, pass through the flames of
hell…even go head-to-head with Zoey Odell.
Zoey has no intention of letting him in,
but Kellen is done taking her crap. Life has just gotten real and he’s more
than ready to shed his nice-guy image. When he finally stands up to her, Zoey
starts seeing him in a new light. As the attraction turns mutual, she finds it
more and more difficult to hide behind her carefully formed walls. And Kellen
is finding himself more and more driven to tear those walls down.
He opened
his eyes and for the first time ever, there was fire in them. He stepped toward
her and pointed at her. “Here’s how it’s going to be. I’m going to visit my
sister and her kids whenever. The fuck. I want. And you’re going to keep your
goddamn mouth shut about how much you hate me, especially around those kids.
You got no right badmouthing me where they can hear. You understand all that?”
She
pressed her lips together to keep from grinning. “Yeah, I understand.”
He
stepped back, the fire in his eyes replaced by stunned confusion. He blew out a
breath and rubbed the back of his neck. “I’m sorry to have to talk to you like
that, but you’ve left me no choice.”
She
did laugh, then. She couldn’t help herself. “What’s next, Kellen? Are you gonna
spank me and send me to bed?”
He
actually blushed.
She
stopped laughing and arched her brow. “Is that what you want, Kellen? To spank
me?” She was possessed of the desire to flirt. Like a warrior who’d finally met
her match on the field of battle, she found a kinship with her enemy. And in
her case, a sudden and exciting attraction.
