Wrecked. Axle Alley Vipers, #3

She wanted freedom, not a babysitter... She was always off limits. Until she was the only thing he couldn't resist. Piper West had been in love with Cole Black for most of her life, but he made it clear he didn't want her. Now she's all grown up, living her life and trying to move on from her brother's best-friend. Which is impossible now that he's her new neighbor-and watchdog-courtesy of her overprotective big brother. Before he was head of West Security, Cole was a cop.
He still blames himself for the accident that took his partner's life and left him permanently scarred. He refuses to risk Piper's heart when he can barely live with himself. But when he moves next door, the temptation is a wrecking ball to his self-control. One stolen kiss leads to a casual arrangement that threatens to consume them both. Because some things aren't meant to be denied. And resisting Piper's love just might wreck him all over again.
