Deeply handsome, with endless brown eyes and a jawline square and cut like marble. His white t-shirt fit snugly over his chest and arms, revealing lean muscle lines that nonetheless exuded a strength of something predatory… Will I was a different man two years ago. I was soft, too easy-going. Look where that got me. Death and destruction, and all of it my fault. I wasn’t going to let that happen again. Now all I wanted to do was fight, drink and fuck. I couldn’t imagine that anything short of retribution for the past could make me want to turn back into the man I was before. I certainly never imagined someone like Eva… Eva When my brother and I moved to this small little town to take over my Uncle’s bar, I thought that it was just going to be like a little mini vacation from our lives. What I didn’t expect was to be threatened almost as soon as we got there. And I certainly didn’t expect protection from that threat to come from a man like Will Bowers. Dark, violent and completely gorgeous. He’s the complete opposite of the type of guy I’m usually attracted to, but then again, I’ve never met a man like him before. My instinct tells me to stay far away, but at the same time, I can’t ignore the feeling that there is more to him than his rough exterior. I see something behind all of that pain in his eyes. Something that draws me forward. Besides, my friend Laura is always telling me that I spend too much time with my head buried in my books, and that I need to actually lift it up and live a little. Maybe she’s right, but I don’t think this is what she had in mind. Note: This is a stand-alone romance novel with an HEA ending. It contains sex and violence and is intended for adults only. Although this is the second book set in the world of the Black Dogs MC, it can be read without reading Sanctum.
