The scowl should've been my first sign to stay away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he's my brother's best friend? Reasons two and three.

Anson is my opposite in every way: grumpy, rude, and loves his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack.

Until he sees me shatter.

When my world falls apart, Anson catches me. And as so-called “accidents” put my life in danger, he steps in to keep me safe.

But Anson has secrets with a price.

And when they're revealed, neither of us will escape unscathed. . .
