I swore I'd never say her name again. The day she kicked me out and broke my heart... I was done. But the moment I hear her trembling voice on the end of the line, It takes everything I have not to destroy whoever is threatening her. The last time I saw Clara, she was kicking me out. So I left, started a new life for myself. I became cold, dark and haunted, And tried every damn day to forget her. The moment I see her-it all comes rushing back. The memories of my name tumbling from her pink lips, The way her body begged to be taken by me. The endless nights of passion that sparked a firestorm between us. But now, she's scared. I can see the fear in her eyes, I can feel it in the way she clings to me. And all my efforts to forget her, went out the window. Nobody's solved more cases in Richmond than me, But Clara-she's the one case I can't crack, And the one that haunts me the most. No matter what, I'll fight to keep her safe, but not from myself. From USA Today Bestselling Authors Jenny Foster and Jolie Day comes Protecting Her. Nobody can resist the explosive appeal of Jacob and Clara-a top-of-the-line story, a steamy romance, and an ending that will surprise everybody. No cliffhanger. Warning: Adult readers only.
