After her mother’s unexpected death, Savannah “Ava” Smythe inherits three things: guardianship of her teenage sister, a house with an upside-down mortgage, and an illegal debt to a loan shark. Any thoughts of going to the police are dashed when the seedy loan shark threatens Savannah and her sister.

In desperate need of fast cash, Savannah lands a job performing at Platinum’s Gentleman’s Club, but she never expected to find her best friend’s brother working security there.

Ted “Puncture” Chisholm loves his job. There’s only one rule: no fraternizing with the dancers. Not a problem, until he learns their newest dancer is his sister’s best friend. He doesn’t know why she’s dancing, but it isn’t his place to stop her.

When Savannah is brutally assaulted in the parking lot, everything changes.

Punc is eaten by guilt and insists on helping her recover.
In the process, he discovers there’s more going on in Savannah’s life.

He also learns his sister’s sweet friend has a will of steel and a sassy attitude that appeals to him much more than it should. He’s determined to solve Savannah’s problems while taking the next step with her. It could cost him his job, but it might also risk his life. For Savannah, he’ll risk everything to make her his.

Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it’s taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. When she’s not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.

The moment the veil is lifted and I see my bride walking down the aisle toward me, her fate is sealed. There will be no mercy. No negotiations. No illusions of choice. She will make her vows, take her place at my side, and crawl willingly into the cage I built for her.

She’s temptation stitched into lace. The harder I fight the pull of her, the more fierce my obsession grips me. She’s the enemy. The spoils of a war she had no part in. Now she’s wearing my ring, warming my bed, and bound to my authority.

And I love to see her bound.

The war may be over, but the vultures continue to circle. I will burn the world to ash before I let them get their claws into her.
