    In the span of twelve hours, I had the cops called on me, my car broke down, and the on-campus apartment I’m supposed to move into isn’t ready yet. But my luck changes when my dad’s cop friend offers to lend a hand. Big, strong, powerful. Chris is the only man I’ve ever wanted, and I want him to see me as something more than his friend's daughter, so I do what seems like a good idea at the time - I put on a curve-hugging little white dress and ask him to drive me to a party on campus. Turns out my plan worked a little too well, and when some frat guy jerk tries something with me, my dad’s friend goes into ultra-protective beast-mode. He says I’m his. That no one is allowed to put a hand on me but him. But does he just want to protect me and keep me safe - or does he want to do something else to me, too? After all, he’s too old for me, too much my dad’s friend, and too much of a by-the-book guy. Right? Please enjoy this short, steamy novella :) This book is part of the “Night” series, but each is a stand-alone and the books in the series can be read in any order. xx, Lauren
