When He Fights

Once upon a time, Kane Harte rescued Anastasia Patrick from hell. He took her away from a killer, protected her, and maybe even came perilously close to loving her. But then she was given a new life. A new name. A new home. And there was no room for Kane or the darkness he carried in her new world. So he walked away. Didn’t look back. Fine, maybe he looked back a little. Or a lot. Maybe he dreamed of her every time his eyes closed. Sue him.

She falls for bad guys. It’s a quirk. A flaw? Whatever. 

When her ex turned out to be a killer, Anastasia “Ana” Patrick knew she was in trouble. But enter the FBI—or rather, enter the super scary, slightly shady, and undeniably hot Kane Harte. He protected her, he gave her a new life—new name, new home, new Ana. And he also broke her heart. That would be the previously mentioned issue she had with bad guys. She fell for the dangerously secretive Kane, and he walked away.

He shattered her heart but gave her safety. Not exactly a fair exchange…

Now her safe world has been wrecked. Danger has found Anastasia—Ana—once again, and she has no choice but to flee on her own. The killer from her past has escaped prison, and he’s coming after her. Ana runs, desperate to get away, and she finds herself barreling straight into the arms of the protector she never expected to see again.   

Kane Harte can kill a man in a hundred different ways. He can also break a woman’s heart without batting an eye.

She won’t fall for him again. Absolutely, Ana will not make that mistake again. Once burned, twice super cautious. But she needs a hero, and Kane excels when it comes to handling deadly trouble. She will control herself around him—there will be no giving in to the crazy desire she still feels for Kane—and, uh, sure, when the Feds decide that she has to be the bait to lure in the killer, Ana will play by their rules. Not like she has a choice, not if she wants to stay alive…

He won’t keep his control. He won’t play by the rules. And he will take what he wants.

Kane is done. He did the whole good-guy routine once before and walked away from Ana. Not happening again. This time, he’ll give in to his need, his obsession, and he will never, ever let go. The Feds want to trap the killer after Ana? Fine. He’ll trap him, but Kane will be the one calling the shots and setting the stage. Kane and Ana will play lovers—they will be lovers—and they’ll draw in the killer. Kane will eliminate the threat to Ana, and he will do whatever it takes to possess the woman who has haunted his dreams for far too long.

Kane made a mistake when he let her go the first time. Now, he’s going to fight like hell for his second chance with Ana. Nothing will stop him from claiming Ana. Not the Feds. Not her killer ex. And not his own bloody and dark past. “Heartless” Kane Harte will put his life and heart on the line for his Ana. Touch what belongs to him? Try to hurt her? He will make you pay.
