Steel Protection (Steel Ventures #2)
C.C. Gedling
Eve
On paper, I had it all, a professional career as a doctor and a handsome fiancé, but things weren’t right. It took me getting hurt to see what kind of monster I lived with.
I fled to the Canary Islands to heal my heart and help my best friend at her medical clinic. An emergency visit to a little boy brought me face-to-face with a heart-stopping man. Despite my hesitation, I couldn’t seem to say no when he asked me out. It was the most fun I’d had in years until the letters and emails arrived, and then maybe I glimpsed my past nightmare in a crowd.
The monster is stalking me, and he wants me back.
Oscar
Sir Oscar Artemis Russel Bt, 5th Baronet of Searcroft Hall. Gods, that sounded dull. My father died, leaving me a title I never wanted and a scandal I scarcely needed. As a single Dad, my first priority was protecting my son. When my new investing partner suggested spending the summer away from the press at his latest hotel in Lanzarote, I didn’t hesitate. But my son got sick, and the doctor they sent stole my breath. Hell, if our family doctor looked like her, I would have been a sickly child. Like ‘accidentally falling down each week’ unwell. My ability to trust was compromised, but maybe a holiday fling would be okay. The longer I spent with her, the deeper I fell. Beautiful and magnetic, with sad eyes that hid secrets.
But how can I protect her if I don’t know what those secrets are?
