Emma: shy, traumatized, and an ex-wild child. Duke: violent, abusive, and out for revenge. Ryder: sarcastic, sexy, and champion MMA fighter. Emma is determined to slide through freshmen year at college as if she were invisible; no drama, no risks, and especially NO BOYS. Nothing that could risk the quiet life she's gotten so good at living. Enter Ryder, an attractive and mysterious MMA fighter clad in tattoos and a fellow student at Emma's college. He has a notorious reputation for skipping classes, not to mention the fights he's constantly getting into and the trail of broken hearts he leaves wherever he goes. But there's something about him, something feral, that Emma finds fascinating. So when Emma's past rises up for another round, will Ryder be able to protect her or will he fall prey to his own past that may be even more dangerous than Emma could possibly have imagined? In a world filled with danger and suspense, only time will tell if love will triumph when it comes to two individuals who aren't perfect...until they're together. - © 2013 (PG-13) *Available for purchase on amazon.com with EPILOGUE included!!!
