With an intimidating build, tattoos everywhere, eight years her senior, and a little sister under his care, the last thing she expected was to warm up to him so easily.

I'm the Princess of Solaria, a realm full of beasts that could make the Devil cower. That title means nothing because I'll be dead by the week's end.

His thick hair, cold blue eyes, and strong jaw held power in a conference meeting, causing women to melt in his presence. I’ve wanted to confront him on his stubborn attitude and critical demands for employees. I’d bitten my tongue in many scenarios and held in my true feelings over a dozen times. Keeping the peace was necessary until I had enough experience under my belt to move on to bigger and better things. The only problem was, Craft Marketing was the bigger and better, and the longer I stuck it out with him, the more opportunities would arise.

I never thought I would get pregnant in college. When I did, I thought leaving Jack Jennings was doing him a giant favor—he had a bright future ahead of him as a football star—the last thing he needed was me and a baby standing in his way of his dreams. Honestly? I figured he would eventually forget about me. I would raise our child in secret and watch Jack on television, and the pain of what I'd done to him would heal.

My whole life I've been the good guy—loyal friend, helpful son, dedicated firefighter—but in the bedroom I'm someone else. With a kink as taboo as mine, it's too risky to play with anyone who doesn't crave it like I do, so I've gotten used to depriving that side of me. Then I see her.

I'm not ready to be staring at a positive pregnancy test and finding out the kid's mine. But I'm also not ready to let the gorgeous redhead with the hottest body on the planet walk out the door, crying, after telling me the news. I have to be there to support her… whether I want to or not. I won't leave her hanging the way Dad left my mom and me. I'll do whatever it takes to support Caroline through this.

He was dirty, then he was bad, now he's just plain wild. Like all the men of Walker Security, when he fell for his woman, he fell hard. Some might call his love for Priscilla a weakness, but you might as well call her a weapon. You hurt her, vengeance is coming, and his name is Adrian.
