He already lost one woman he loved. He won't lose another.

Phoebe Lynch doesn't want to be her boyfriend's punching bag any longer, so she runs to the other side of the country to get away from him. Lying to her family about why she's really there, all she wants to do is find the woman she used to be before she got beaten down and lost all her self-esteem. What she doesn't want is to fall for another alpha male. Especially one who could crush her battered heart.

When Asher "Mouse" Whitman's daughter disappears from the park, he assumes the strange woman he spots her with is the culprit. Instead, he learns she saved Lolly's life. Now, all he wants to do is protect her and chase away the fear in her eyes. Convincing Phoebe to give him a chance won't be easy, especially with her abusive ex still sniffing around.

Her ex is far more dangerous than any of them realize, and Mouse might wind up losing not just the woman he's falling for but his daughter as well.
