Torched Obsession (Scarred Angels MC #2)

You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone
Just when Dakota Rose thinks Adam Mendel is out of her hair, she can’t seem to stop thinking about him. She thought she wanted what her life was before him, but the peace and quiet doesn’t seem to be adding up with the racing of her heart…

And he can’t seem to stop thinking about her either
Things spiral out of control for Adam faster than ever: word is the Soul Stealers are back on the job, and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to finish their contracts – and that means the woman he can’t get off his mind is still in deep trouble…

The fight is not over yet, and things are about to get more heated than ever
Fate draws their hearts back together like sunshine on asphalt, and they can’t get enough of each other. There’s more going on than they could possibly know, but will they be able to stop denying their attraction in order to save themselves?

EXCERPT

“Why didn’t you call me?” Dakota asked and Adam froze. She didn’t say anything else. She just looked at him. She wasn’t afraid or worried about what he was going to say. It didn’t matter, she was with him, they were together, and that was all that mattered. She just needed to know why.

“I was told not to contact you by James Hastings. He said the contract was over and that we should delete all of your personal information and have no more contact since the contract was over. I tried to visit you in the hospital, but they wouldn’t let me, said I wasn’t family.”

“I didn’t know,” Dakota said. She could feel her heart breaking. She could see Adam being turned away at the hospital, being told not to speak with her anymore. “James shouldn’t have done that. I didn’t ask him to.”

“Why didn’t you call me?” he asked.

“When I didn’t hear from you…I just figured that the job was over and you were done. That it was just a one-time thing,” Dakota answered.

“That’s what I thought, too, and after what you said to the police...” Adam said, walking over to her and taking her hand in his, he squeezed it gently and looked down at Dakota. “I wanted to call you. I kept your number in my phone.”

“I lied to the police because it’s none of their business. You have to understand that if you want to spend time with me; people care about the details of my life. I don’t know why, but they do; news sites report on who I’m dating and it sucks. I have no privacy. I didn’t want a bunch of gossip rags discussing it on the seven o’clock entertainment news.”

Adam chuckled and said, “Fair enough.” He leaned forward and kissed her, and Dakota fell into the kiss and his arms like a thirsty man falls into a lake. He swept her up in his arms, running his hands over her back and she brought her hand up to his face, caressing his cheek, and avoiding the places where he had been hit.

“Take a shower with me?” she whispered, her forehead pressed against his. He nodded and it was Dakota who took him by the hand and led him into the bathroom, closing the door behind them.
