With a smart pretty mouth that arouses me to the point of madness, Avery is off-limits in every way possible. I indulge in whiskey, chase down sleazeballs, and spend my nights with strangers who don’t ask questions. I don’t do relationships. Or women who are barely legal. But Avery is mature beyond her years and not afraid to push and tease me, a thirty-year-old man who’s itching to teach her it’s dangerous to play with fire. Now she’s gotten herself in trouble. A stalker has her in his sights. I saw her first. She’s broken through my armor and I make all kinds of mistakes because I know she’s mine. Even if I have to let her go away to college and learn about the world first…. Meet Grant Harding and Avery Clark in this PREQUEL to the Houston After Dark Series. Off Limits Lover ends on a cliffhanger, but Grant and Avery’s story picks up four years later and ends in a HEA in Rough Lover. less

I can’t forget how he kissed me four years ago before he pushed me away. I have one shot with him now on this job to prove I have what it takes to do PI work like him. One shot to hear the words that will bring me to my knees:. Good girl. She wrangled her way onto my assignment and now she’ll get a taste of the man I really am. Avery Clark was feisty at eighteen, at twenty-two she’s wild. And it’s satisfying to finally get her on her knees and hear her scream my name after wanting her for four long years. But no matter how used and sore I make her in the dark at my club, on my desk, and in the locker room tied to a bench with my belt, I’m too old, rough, and broken for her. Not to mention my line of work is too dangerous for her to tag along. Now she’s gone too far to prove herself, but she’s mine. And I protect what belongs to me. Rough Lover (Previously Titled Relentless Cowboy) is part of the Houston After Dark series, but can be read as a standalone. No cheating. No cliffhanger. HEA Guaranteed. less

I should stop and she shouldn’t be touching herself watching me. Now I’m hooked on someone I shouldn’t be thinking about... moreI’m an exhibitionist. For a reason. And not the one you think.
