Brute: The Valves MC (28 page)

I knew he was trouble from the moment I saw him

My life had fallen into a rut. I had no future, no prospects, and no way forward. So I did what every other lost soul do in those situations:

I ran—as far as I could, as fast as I could.

And then I ran into him. Matt Perrier. The six-foot-five Navy SEAL with tattoos snaking across his rippling muscles and dripping with danger and wildness from every pore.

From the moment I see him, I know that he’s nothing like anyone I’ve ever met.

I know that losing wasn’t in his blood.

I know that nothing gets between him and what he wants.

And I know he wants me.

She’d been cleared hot and it’s weapons free.

I’ve f***ed a different woman from every continent. Love isn’t something that I do, not when I’ve spent the last six years humping across the mountains of Afghanistan by day and hunting terrorists by night.

All I wanted was some well-deserved R and R after a long deployment.

So when Emmy Roth runs into me in Honolulu Airport and I get a good look at those sexy curves that are begging to be held, I knew what my next target is.

Emmy doesn’t know it yet, but I’m about to blow up her world.

And when I’m through with her, I’ll have her begging for more.

JESSICA MITCHELL MUST LEARN TO TRUST HERSELF TO LOVE AGAIN.

After her last boyfriend, Jessica is determined to never be hurt again, to never relieve the nightmare, and to keep the world forever on the outside. Hoping to be just another face in the crowd, she values her obscurity and does her best to fade into the background.

Until leather-clad bad boy Scott Murphy makes her think twice about everything.

SCOTT DRIVES ALL THOUGHTS OF SECLUSION FROM HER MIND WITH A SINGLE SMOLDERING LOOK.

Unlike the other men of the Grim Angels who tend to scrape the bottom of the barrel, Scott Murphy is choosy with who he wants in his bed. With a face and body that made the perfect cross between rugged outdoorsman and a movie star, the mysterious bad boy has his eyes set on Jessica tonight, and no-one else.

THEY’RE TAKING A RISK THAT COULD SEND THE WORLD CRASHING DOWN AROUND THEM.

Jessica and Scott are about to plunge deep into each other’s world—secrets and all. Hiding her involvement with Scott from his gang is difficult. But the animosity from the Angels is nothing compared to the darkness from Jessica’s past threatening to boil to the surface and put an end to it all.
