Dangerous Liaisons (Matthews)

"She's mine. She will always be mine. You want her, you fight for her.” Nail and bail, that's me, Ryker Conway. A relationship is a complication I don't need, the last thing on my radar. I'm too close to making my dream of playing ball professionally come true. When a bet is thrown down-nail and bail on a girl I wouldn't look at once, much less twice, and I'll get my chance with the coed of my wet dreams-I readily agree. What I'm not expecting is to get tangled in Harper Garrix's messed-up life. Or for her to get under my skin in this hot and dangerous way no girl's done before. But the bet and my football dreams are the least of my worries. Something wicked from Harper's past is coming for her, threatening my place at her side. I'm not having it. To get to her, the wicked of the world will have to go through me.

A sinner, the bad guy, that's me, Shephard Taylor. I'm done being bad. I want to do and be good. Prove to Harper Garrix, the woman I care for, I'm up for being reformed.I get my chance when I stop a robbery and assault. Imagine my surprise when the scared and shaken-up woman looks like she could be Harper's twin. Harlow Voss. Meek. Reed thin. Vulnerable.I take Harlow under my wing and train her to be stronger and faster. The temptation of her body tests me. The mystery behind the reason we crossed paths that day stokes my curiosity.My suspicions are spot on. Harlow isn't who she portrays herself to be. She isn't meek or vulnerable. She's dangerous. And her godawful truths will drop me to my knees, making me question the power of love to destroy or . . . forgive.Each book in the Dangerous Liaisons Series can be read as a standalone, but it's best to read them in order.
