In this steamy, addictive contemporary romance spinning off the New York Times bestselling Dream Man and Rock Chick series, Ryn Jansen must put her trust in the one man she wants -- and the one man she can't let herself have.
Ryn Jansen has no interest in taking a risk on Boone Sadler. Thanks to a long list of men who've done nothing but let her down, Ryn vows to stay far away from the caring, protective commando. And when Boone confronts Ryn with evidence that her loved ones are conning her, Ryn is less than thrilled -- with her family and Boone. But even as Boone proves he's the kind of guy to meet her every need, she doesn't trust him to stay when life gets hard . . .
Boone Sadler's never been one to back down from a challenge. He's determined to show the funny, sexy Ryn that the irresistible connection between them is worth exploring. But caring for Ryn's heart and body becomes a matter of life and death when Ryn's beloved niece and nephew are put in danger and dirty cops begin gunning for Ryn. Soon Boone realizes their romance is in danger of more than heartbreak -- and to have any future together, they'll have to put their trust in each other.

Is it possible for a stripper to find true love? Ryn doesn’t think so. She has given up on love, until Boone bursts into her life and changes everything.
Ryn has never had it easy and she has learned life isn’t fair and good things don’t happen to someone like her. She is resigned to her life as a stripper, although she has bigger plans, she isn’t sure she will ever be able to achieve them. Unfortunately, her family keeps interrupting her goals. Rye has a heart of gold and continually puts everyone else’s needs before her own. She is easy to like and I kept rooting for her and hoping she would finally get a break.
Boone likes Ryn but at first, she won’t give him a chance. Boone works for Hawk as a commando. If you have read KA’s other books, you know who Hawke is and if you haven’t, Hawk runs an underground security company. If you have a problem and no one else can get it done, Hawk can. All the guys who work for Hawk are tough, the best in the business and good looking alpha males.
I loved Boone. He has issues from his past, but so does Ryn. Boone is dominating, charming, sweet, protective and treats Ryn really well. Boone and Ryn are funny and snarky and I loved all their verbal foreplay. They are both into BDSM and once they get together, they have sizzling chemistry.
There are bad guys, dirty cops and Hawk and his commandos are doing everything they can to keep Ryn safe. This is a fun, entertaining, action packed story with lots of alpha males, dirty talk and sexy times. I enjoyed many of the characters from KA’s past books making appearances in this one. It was fun catching up with these entertaining characters. This is another wonderful Kristen Ashley story.
