Her Rugged Guardian

She’s determined to hate me. I’m determined to make her mine.

When Cassandra Dayne waltzed into town, the dislike between us was instant. Her mistaking me for an intruder and hitting me over the head didn’t help, and neither did me belting her bare ass.

That just left me painfully hard and her shamefully wet but no less full of fire and brimstone…

But I’m not going anywhere, and not only because I was hired to fix up the bed and breakfast she’s back home to run or even because of the brutal hate-sex neither of us could resist.

She’s staying because she’s stubborn enough to defy the mobsters who want her property.

I’m staying because she’s mine now, and I protect what’s mine.
