Synopsis
A stubborn spitfire inherits a single dad protector from hell in this scorching and intoxicating age gap romance by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Nicole Snow. Absolute insanity. That was my history with Holden Verity from the day my grandfather made him my second shadow. Unwanted bodyguard. Strict warden. The older, stone-faced giant who yanked me out of trouble before I could enjoy it. Now, I'm all grown up. Older and wiser (supposedly). Definitely in trouble again. Gramps left me a priceless treasure—the kind people kill for—and guess who else I inherited? A familiar white knight with a black heart. I still hate him every time he growls in my face. I hate him a little less once I find out he's raising the sweetest little girl. I hate him in ways I never knew I could when we're stuck in one bed. And after the walls close in, after I'm under his roof, after his kisses shred my last thread of sanity, that hate is all I have to cling to. Because the second I let go, this bittersweet temptation will swallow me whole. And falling for Holden Verity is a long, heart-wrecking way down.
