I’m not a knight in shining armor. I’ve built my reputation on Wall Street as someone who keeps his eyes on the prize, takes calculated risks and is always prepared for everything.

I was completely unprepared for Heather. When I see her at the bar where I blow off steam after work, I can’t take my eyes off her—or the trouble following her. Instinctively, I step in to protect her.

I get more than I bargained for. Heather challenges me and melts under my touch. She's a feisty single mom, and when she introduces me to her daughter, something shifts inside me.

But Heather’s had her heart broken before, and my reputation as a player isn’t doing me any favors. But I’m not done proving that I can change. And I’m relentless when I go after what I want.

"Oh My, Ryker is my new favorite hero. His ability to be sweet and a dirty talker at the same time was so damn sexy." "This a fantastically fun, flirty and heartfelt story. I'd give this 10 HOT stars if I could."
