Sofa King Hard
Madison Faye - 2018
Strong. Really good with his hands. Great at fitting into tight spaces. No job too hard. No job too dirty. No stopping him once he’s unchained… The Marines made me tough. Prison hardened me. Five long years I’ve been away—chained up like a beast without knowing the touch of a woman, serving time for a crime I didn’t commit. I’m out now, and the proud owner of Sofa King Movers. I’m supposed to keep my head down and play nice, but that’s before I lay eyes on her. Jillian Lafayette. Tempting, beautiful, and very off-limits. But five years does something to a man. It makes him hungry. It makes him crazy, driven, obsessed. And when I catch her being a bad girl with her hands where they don’t belong? Oh, there’ll be no stopping me from claiming what’s mine and showing her just how hard I can be. I know she’s a client. And her abusive sh*t of an ex-husband has mob ties I can’t pretend aren’t there. But one look and I’m addicted. One taste, and I know she’s mine. Mine to protect. Mine to keep safe. …Mine to keep, all for myself. Five years is a long time. Jillian’s let the leash off the beast, and once I get my dirty hands on her, there’ll be no stopping me from taking it all. Warning: this one is ridiculously over-the-top and complete and utter fantasy at its finest. Seriously, if you’re looking for realism and long, drawn-out falling-in-love, this ain’t it. This is page-one insta-love. This is wild, reckless, hot as all get-out, and SO much fun. Go ahead. Say the title out loud and have a giggle. Then get ready for some serious freaking heat. As with all my books, this standalone novella is safe, with no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed.
