When he saves her from a potentially brutal beating, they begin to grow close, but Olivia's ex isn’t ready to let her go so easily.
Bash can't bring himself to walk away, but fixing Olivia just might leave him broken…

Excerpt
“One of the most
important things to remember about basic self-defense is to go for the soft
spots. Eyes, neck, or balls, if you’ve got a shot at ‘em.”
He demonstrated
several moves. A knee to the groin, eye gouging, and then he showed me how to
slam the heel of my hand into someone’s nose. He stood still and let me
practice on him. I’d gotten comfortable with several of the moves, and was
about to run through them again when he abandoned the statue routine and rushed
at me. His hand came up like he was going to strike me and I didn’t have a
chance to think. I just acted, covering my face and turning away. A whirlwind
second later, I found myself face first against the mirror with my hands behind
my back and Bash’s body pinning me in place.
For the first
time since he’d arrived I realized I should probably be afraid. I’d invited a
guy I hardly knew to the nearly deserted hall, assuring him in advance that I
had no idea how to protect myself and now here I was, helpless. In hindsight,
it seemed like sheer idiocy. But for some reason, even as I stood there, still
gasping for air, the fear never came. Somehow I knew with total certainty that
Bash would never hurt me.
At least, not
physically.
Our gazes locked
in the mirror and my stomach bottomed out. The stark need on his face sent my
pulse skittering out of control.
