BLURB:
He broke my heart once.
Now it’s my turn.
Violence and I go way back, but waking up in a shallow grave in the middle of the bayou? That’s a new low, even for me. I didn’t come home to Devil’s Garden looking for trouble, but this town is itching to pick a fight with me.
Now, I’m stuck relying on the one man I vowed never to face again. Wyatt is older, smarter, and stronger. Better than an orphan like me in every way—and he made sure I knew it when he cruelly rejected me five years ago.
Me? I’m everything he should avoid. But here’s the he’s no longer treating me like a mistake. His eyes burn whenever he looks at me, raw and primal, like he’s undressing me layer by layer.
But no matter how magnetic he is, I can’t risk letting him close enough to hurt me again.
I loved Gage even when I knew I shouldn’t. Now, he’s back—and all grown up. The reckless boy I spent years keeping out of trouble has returned a hard, muscled, and cocky as hell. Gage is a walking weapon wrapped in temptation, and I’m falling again the second he looks at me.
But Gage doesn’t want love. Not from anyone, and especially not from me. He doesn’t believe in it. I’ll settle for scraps if I have to. I’ll take his body, his fire, his pain—anything he’ll give me—but I won’t stop until he sees himself through my eyes.
But in a town as dirty as Devil’s Garden? Love might not be enough to save us.
REVIEW:
This is a great startnto a new series. This installment is about Gage and Wyatt, but the entire story centers around Gage and his brothers who were taken in when they were kids by a riglch guy with a mansion that was turned into a hone for kids.
Wyatt is a cop in town who saved Gage from an abusive father. Fast forward a number of years and Gage has returned a grown man.
At the heart of this story is the family of brothers, whom the local police seem to have it out for. They are all trying to find proof of corruption before things get too deep.
Meanwhile, Wyatt and Gage, through various events, become closer again and begin their actual relationship. Wyatt was always looking out for Gage, and Gage always seemed to need looking out for.
As I said earlier, this was a good start tobm the series. It introduced the brothers, all of whom seem to have their own unique issues. Ben, the stressed out lawyer, looks to be up next, and I’m excited to see where this story goes next.
