The small town she lands in was supposed to be her fresh start, her chance at a better life. But instead, she’s a broke single mom who spends her nights looking for the chocolate she hid from her kids.
When her ex lands on the local Motorcycle club’s most wanted list and leads them straight to her door, her life is once again turned upside down.
But maybe a broody hot guy on a motorcycle is just the thing she never asked for but got anyway.
Now the only question is: Will he be her savior or her downfall?
“You think you could take me?” he asked, amusement lacing his voice.
I shrugged. “If I had to.”
He made a noise that could loosely be interpreted as a laugh. “Do you even know any self-defense?”
“I have moves,” I said, concentrating on the sidewalk.
“Okay, show me.”
I stopped and looked up at him. “Show you?”
“Yes, show me what you got.”
I nodded and continued walking. “Okay. Just remember, you asked for it.”
We made it to the house a few minutes later and went into the backyard. The kids ran up to the sand pit, leaving me with Sebastian.
“Let’s do this,” I said, wringing my hands. Truth was I had no idea about self-defense. I didn’t know why I’d said it. Actually, I did. Sebastian had made me mad, and I’d just said the first thing that came to mind. Hopefully I wouldn’t regret it.
I didn’t get time to wallow in my stupidity before he was behind me. He put his arms around me and pulled me to him.
“Try to get out of my hold,” he said, his body plastered to mine.
My senses were suddenly on overload. My body tingled from the tips of my toes to my earlobes from being this close to him. I’d dreamed about being in this position for over a year and didn’t know how to react to the sensations overtaking my body.
The thought of him holding me so close. Caressing me. Protecting me. Worshipping at my feet.
Okay, enough, Nora. He’s pretending to attack you, not fondle you.
“You’re not moving. Why are you not moving?” Sebastian asked, his voice low.
I snapped out of my daydream and stepped on his foot. He loosened his hold, and I elbowed him in the stomach.
