Frost and Ice: A BBW Romance Novella (A Touch in the Dark #2)
Amber Thielman

I finally told him.
I told Carter about my life back in Vegas, about Jared. There's something about Carter that I can't hide from, and I'm not sure what it is. Sex is amazing, yes. No, it's fucking phenomenal.
But there's so much more to him than meets the eye. I know I shouldn't be sleeping with my boss. I'm probably just setting myself up for heartache. God knows I had plenty of that with Jared.
Jared. My ex-fiancé. Veronica says she has a bad feeling about whatever is going to happen, but Ronnie has a bad feeling about everything. I'm finally free of my abusive ex. Right? Nothing can happen if I'm all the way in Seattle . . .
I don't know what to do anymore.
Lizzy is getting increasingly concerned about her abusive ex, and I feel she's coping with it the wrong way. Pills are missing from the hospital, and she drinks every night. When I try to confront her, she snaps at me. I refuse to let her go down alone, but when she denies my help, what's a man supposed to do?
I think I love her, and there's no way I'll let him harm the woman I love.
I don't care what it takes.
