Blurb
Sidney Halston returns to steamy Tarpon Springs, Florida, where a hell-raising bad boy prepares to get down and dirty for the woman he loves.

How could she have been so stupid? When Jessica Cross decides to give her violently jealous boyfriend—the otherwise influential and charming Dennis Stavros—a second chance, she very nearly becomes a statistic. After weeks of healing from a broken rib and collapsed lung, and with Dennis behind bars, Jessica finally feels ready to come out of hiding. But will she ever be able to take a chance on love again with someone new?

Mixed martial arts fighter Slade Martin knows he has a bad reputation. Hell, he's probably earned it. So it won’t be easy to convince beautiful, vulnerable Jessica that she can trust him—that from the moment she walked into his life, she’s been the only one he’s wanted. Powerful and confident, Slade knows he can honor his vow to protect Jessica body and soul. Winning her heart will be another matter . . . but a woman like Jessica is worth the fight.

~~~RECEIVED FOR HONEST REVIEW~~~



When one has an extremely bad relationship that she is running from it's hard to trust again.  It's hard to love again.  Even if you meet the most perfect, sexy man.  How can you over come the hurt and pain of the past to move on?  How can you learn to trust and feel safe enough to know the man you that has been trying to love you is doing just that?  You don't want to miss this story of Jessica and Slade!

 Excerpt

 The Lusty Literate, 10/22
“Jess? Have you called your family? They’re from Charlotte, right? Are they coming?”
Jessica shook her head.
He reached for her hand, “Baby, you want me to call them for you?”
She shook her head again. She looked so fragile, so alone, and so scared that Slade wanted to put her in a protective bubble and stand guard. From the day they’d met, he’d felt this way about her. He was notoriously selfish, but when it came to this woman, a surge of protectiveness consumed him.
“Please. What can I do? I’m so sorry about—“
She shook her head again, “Not your fault.” She then grimaced.
 “Does it hurt when you talk?”
She nodded.
“Then yes-or-no questions only, ’kay?”
She squeezed his hand and blinked. Her face was turned to his, and tears were slowly running down her cheeks.
“You don’t want to call your family?”
She shook her head.
“I think you need to tell them what happened.”
She shook her head again, this time frantically. Her chin quivered as the tears continued to fall onto the bed.
“Baby, please, don’t cry. I don’t know how to handle this, but I’m here. Okay? I’m here. You’re not alone. If you don’t want to call your folks, that’s cool. You’ll just be stuck with me.”
She frowned at him.
“No?”
“No,” she whispered .
“Why?”
She shrugged.
“Not a good reason. And, since you can’t speak, it’s me or your parents. You pick.” He reached for her phone as if he was going to dial her parents.
She seemed to ponder it for a few moments, then pointed at Slade.
“Okay. That’s settled, then.”
He reached over and stroked her hair . “Go to sleep, baby. No one’s going to hurt you. I swear to you. No one will ever hurt you again.” Her eyes slowly closed, and then she was asleep.
Slade sat there for hours looking at the beautiful woman who lay there broken.
He’d had a few regrets throughout his life. One was letting his sister walk out of his life over ten years ago because of some bullshit he had said to her during their father’s funeral. The second thing he regretted was not finding Dennis Stavros and fucking him up himself. Even if it had led to prison, he should’ve done it. Slade had stayed away from Jessica, and that allowed Dennis to severely beat her.
He vowed at that moment never to let her get hurt again.
