They murdered my brother and woke up a beast.

Losing my comrades in the military overseas was expected. Coming home to a murdered little brother and a hometown ravaged by monsters that think they now own the place. Not just no, but hell to the no. It’s about to get messy.

When I left Reno to join the SEALS, my younger brother took the reins to my MC, the Devil’s Luck. He was supposed to wear the leather and fill the shoes until I got back. Not leave me alone in this life.

Now that I’m back, I have a bigger fight on my hands than I thought possible. And not only that, but a beautiful girl is caught in the middle. The type of woman that keeps a hard man like me up at night, pacing the floor with need.

I don’t deserve a woman like her. I’ve spilled too much blood in my life to be worthy of love. Besides, I don’t have time for romance. My town is under attack, and I’m going to get it back.

The war isn’t over. It’s just beginning.

Haley Bennett thought her life as an ER doctor and mommy of two rescued Dobermans couldn’t get any crazier…until hunky P.I. Donovan McGregor shows up and informs her that her best friend has tangled with the wrong guy and is in serious danger. As Haley spends more time with Donovan, visions of tangled sheets and staying together forever start to chase her…as do the bad guys. When things start spiraling out of control in more ways than one, Haley has to decide whether she needs Donovan to protect her—or if she needs to protect her heart from him.

Donovan McGregor loves his life as a Chicago private detective and the freedom that comes along with it. When a case leads him to Dr. Haley Bennett, he’s more than happy to take on the role of her bodyguard. Dealing with mysterious break-ins, following up on leads, tracking bad guys, and worrying about Haley’s safety keeps him busy during the day. His nights he dedicates to Haley, more than willing to follow the doctor’s orders.

But as their relationship grows, Donovan is forced to choose which he loves more: his independence or Haley.

Outside a glittering party, I saw a man in the dark. I didn’t know then that he was an assassin. A hit man. A mercenary. Ronan radiated danger and beauty. Mercy and mystery.

I wanted him, but I was already promised to another man. Ronan might be the one who murdered him. But two warring families want my blood. I don’t know where to turn.

In a mad world of luxury and secrets, he’s the only one I can trust.

Men like us, we see things. We do things, things that make us unfeeling.

That’s the price of power and money, of living la belle vie and running the French mafia. Then she came along like a pretty wildflower pushing through the cracks on a dirty pavement – fragile yet resilient, a breath of beauty among the filth. She was supposed to be just another job, a nameless person I was to pluck from her life and hand to my brother, nothing but a pawn in the gamble of our diamond business.

There’s a psychological label for men like us.

We lack empathy and guilt. We do things to have what we want, things that make flowers wilt.

He hired me to help him win a political campaign. Little does he know that I’m the one who could completely destroy it.

It must’ve sounded so simple in his head. Hire an actress, pretend to be happily married, win an election. And then say goodbye with no issues whatsoever. Sure, it would’ve been simple if… I wasn’t his ex-girlfriend. And also if… I hadn’t given birth to his baby. And… wait for it… if I had told him about the baby.
