The Snow Leopard's Enforcer is my best customer. My worst distraction. And the six-foot-six reason I can't concentrate on anything anymore.

My life in LA ended with a cheating ex, a destroyed business, and a promise to myself: never ever again. Never again would I let a man make me second to his own ego.

Then I moved to Chilmore and met Gabe Devereaux.

He's a walking wall of muscle who could snap a man in half without breaking a sweat. He's also the guy who keeps showing up at Needle & Ink with some excuse about new tattoos, then sits in my chair looking at me like I'm the most dangerous thing he's ever faced.

Which is ridiculous. I'm five-foot-five.

But the way he watches me? Like he'd drop to his knees and put his mouth wherever I wanted if I asked?

That's dangerous for a woman who's forgotten what it feels like to be wanted.

You see, my ex didn't just break my heart… he made sex about his needs. I can't remember the last time I came and actually meant it.

Gabe doesn't let me perform.

He won't accept anything but real. He demands I tell him what I want, where I want it, and for how long. Then he gives it to me until I'm shaking and gasping for more.

This man is rewriting everything I thought I knew about sex.

But Gabe's world is cracking. His team is losing. His discipline is slipping. And when my ex shows up trying to drag me back, Gabe's need to protect me collides with the one thing I need most… a man who trusts me to protect myself.

I've already survived one man's destruction. I won't survive another.

Book Five in the Snow Leopards series is a filthy, banter-loaded sports romance with a possessive enforcer who worships his girl, a sharp-tongued tattoo artist rediscovering what it means to be truly wanted, and a slow burn so hot it'll leave scorch marks on your e-reader. Featuring he-falls-first obsession, touch-her-and-die protectiveness, and spice scenes that will have you locking your bedroom door.
