Publisher's Synopsis
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shayla Black comes a story in her More Than Words series…
Can I keep the gorgeous, gun-shy single mother safe-and prove I'm the man for her?
I'm Tanner Kirk-Certified firearms instructor and mixed martial arts enthusiast. When I filed for divorce at the end of an empty marriage, all I wanted was a vacation in paradise, not another woman in my life. But how can I possibly say no to Amanda Lund, a young single mom desperate to learn self-defense? Or refuse the banked desire on the guarded beauty's face?
I can't.
So I seduce Mandy until we're burning up the sheets…and soon find my heart entangled with her bruised and battered one. But when a nemesis from her past tries to destroy our future by unearthing my secret, will she understand and forgive me-or give up on us forever?
