Lisa Winters has a past. One riddled with more than twenty years of abuse at the hands of her husband. Having married young, giving birth to her sons before she’d turned twenty, living the life of abuse had become the only life she’d known, until the night he’d nearly killed her in a fit of rage. She has scars from her years of abuse. Scars that run deep, not only on her body but in her heart and mind. She suffers from PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Finally freeing herself from his years of abuse, she’s determined she’ll never allow another man into her heart or her bed. Men cannot be trusted.
Elijah “Hack” Smith is a special forces Marine. Living life to the fullest, serving his country, protecting the innocent who can’t protect themselves. At twenty-eight, he has no interest in love or happily-ever-after. He’s known from a young age that he isn’t destined for a wife, children, and a house with a white picket fence. His father had been an abusive asshole who’d nearly killed his mother when Hack was only a boy. His mother had escaped the abuse and raised Hack and his sister as a single mother. While Hack has never laid hands on a woman in anger, he isn’t willing to take the risk that he could become a monster like his father. He fears he can’t overcome genetics.
The two are thrown together when Lisa’s best friend Charlotte is abducted, but later found by Hack’s Marine Raiders team. There’s an instant connection between them. Electrical. Cosmic. However, given their pasts, they resist it with a primal need to protect their own hearts. Having mutual friends means Lisa and Hack will inevitably be spending time together. Being around one another is infuriating, the friction causing tension anyone near them can feel. Over the next several years, this attraction burns slowly, until it spontaneously combusts in a night of heated passion neither can keep from allowing to play out. It’s one night. No strings attached. Just two friends working off some sexual frustrations…yeah, right.
When Lisa’s ex steps up his intentions to drag Lisa back into his evil clutches, Hack becomes determined to keep Lisa safe and keep her in his bed and his life for the long haul, even though she is resistant to give into his demands.
Can Hack keep Lisa’s devil from dragging her back to hell? More importantly can he convince her nothing matters except the love they have for one another? Not their age difference, not their pasts, nor the demons chasing determined to tear them apart. Find out Destiny’s plans for these star-crossed lovers.
