She’s running from her past, but he’s determined to be her future.

Brick:

Beth wasn't a woman who belonged in the shadows of a strip club. She needed protection, and I was the man for the job. She's curvy, stubborn, and impossible to resist. But she's hiding something—secrets that could pull her away just as quickly as she stumbled into my life. And I don’t let go of what’s mine.

Beth:

After years of running, I should keep my distance. But every look, every touch, makes me crave more. He says he’ll keep me safe, but can I trust the man who makes me feel wanted for the first time in my life?

This is an instalove, short protector romance.
