Stolen English

She's going to make him break all of his rules, break down all of his walls, and tell her a truth he's been hiding for almost a decade. And in the process, probably break his own heart.

Andrea

I didn't think I'd live another day. It's been almost ten years since I escaped to a life I could never imagine. And to a man I can only dream about. Evan Roark has been my beacon, he's been the man who's shown me that men who are strong can also be safe. After almost a decade, I'm finally ready to take back my life and remember the woman inside me, the woman who wants, who needs, who loves, who feels, who craves only he's made it clear I can't crave him. But I haven't made it this far to make a new life only to fail now. I want him to be the one to help me erase my past. And if he wants to be all up in my space being bossy and over protective, and looking so hot, then I can't help it if I'll try anything possible to get him to touch me.

Evan

Nine years ago I asked my best friend, Xavier, for a favor, a way to keep Andrea safe. While I run security for him and guard his family against all threats, I can also keep her close. I keep her close, but never touch. But when she paints a target on her back by filing for divorce, I'm forced to make a choice, and it's her I have to protect. And now she's calling my bluff, letting me know she's ready to finally trust another man to hold her, to touch her, to love her It's killing me. I want it to be me, but I can't be both her lover and her protector. If I give in, then I won't see the threat coming. I know what happens when I get distracted. People get hurt.

But she's making it so damn difficult. ***

What will it take to have them both give in to what has been there for longer than either of them knew?
