Hardboiled Love

I don't fool around with clients. That means Elsie is off-limits. But from the moment she walked into my office, I knew I'd be breaking all of my rules for her. I'll do whatever it takes to make her mine. Hard. Rough. Dangerous. That's what people say about me, and I don't deny a word of it. Being a private detective in Sutter City requires a serious level of grit. In my world, attachments can get you killed. I live by my own rules, and nothing gets in my way....At least, until Elsie appears in my life, crashing over me like a storm and washing away everything else I thought was important.She's everything I never knew I wanted. Pure temptation. Beautiful as sin. I learned what desire truly was the moment she melted me with those beautiful brown eyes. Now all I can think about is her. Her smell. Her touch. Her taste. The way her soft, delicate curves feel in my rough hands. I need her to be mine. Elsie is mixed up with some bad people. If they threaten her again, they're going to find out exactly how dangerous I really am. I'll fight off the whole underworld myself if I have to. There's nothing I wouldn't do to keep her safe. Elsie is my woman. Now it's time for me to claim her. If you're looking for realism, you've got the wrong book This is over-the-top, smutty insta-love of the purest kind. Some action, some adventure, but mostly just a growly, possessive alpha claiming his woman. Happy reading As always, this book can be fully enjoyed as a standalone read. Safe. HEA. No cheating, no love triangles, no cliffhangers. 18+
