Publisher's Synopsis
He wears a crown of barbed wire to keep others at bay.
Prickly, mean, and emotionally disengaged-Adrian Daire is the ultimate brooding alpha-hole. With his smoldering good looks and huge bank account, he's an irresistible jerk to most women. But to Lola, he's her dead boyfriend's beast of a brother. When Ryan passed away, Adrian took it upon himself to look after Lola. His version of that is bossing her around and judging her. He's order, and she's chaos. The two don't mix. While Daire is the last person Lola would ever ask for help, he enlists himself when Lola decides it's time to find her new Mr. Right on a dating app. As he offers her his guidance, old tensions rise to the surface along with new ones. When a potential suitor sets his sights on Lola, it should be an easy decision. Only, the longer she spends with Adrian, the more she realizes the hatred they've harbored for each other has unearthed something beneath the surface. An emotion that feels more like... love. But when the truth is unveiled, it sets them on an unavoidable collision course that could destroy everything.
