This book was just everything! The emotional rollercoaster Rorik and Tenny took me on had me all in the feels!
Beginning with their love story amongst the stacks as high school sweethearts to the abrupt end of their relationship due to Tenille’s father. He didn’t believe Rorik was good enough for his daughter and therefore bought Rorik’s ride through college for his immediate dissolution of their relationship. He gave Tenille the ultimatum: her heart for his dream.
Fast forward 19 years and Tenille’s husband shows up dead in Rorik’s morgue. They come face to face when Tenille has to ID the body and it takes all the power in the world for Rorik to control his emotions. He has been essentially emotionless for the better half of the last decade and has so many personal demons to conquer from his past. Tenille wants nothing more than to repair and apologize for what happened but Rorik is not at a place to accept it.
While working through Mr. Harper’s autopsy, they discover he was involved with smuggling guns and drugs under the guise of his shipping company. This has put a target on Tenille’s back and Rorik will stop at nothing to protect her, even if he can’t let himself feel for her.
The spice was on par and had some very sexy scenes, two of which I have not read anywhere else and it was
