Sebring - Kristen Ashley

\nNick Sebring has issues. Born feeling like an outsider in his own family, growing up under the shadow of a brother who could do anything, Nick isn't that great of a guy. But when this culminates with Nick lashing out to hurt his brother through the woman he loves, Nick turns inward and makes some decisions about the man he intends to be.\n \n \n\n \nAnd as he does this, he falls in love and truly learns the man that he's grown to be.\n \n \n\n \nWhen his love is murdered right before Nick's eyes, Nick knows he has to avenge her. He knows how he's going to avenge her. And he has no qualms using Olivia Shade to exact that vengeance.\n \n \n\n \nOlivia Shade has grown up on the outside of her family too. Her problem is that they don't want her outside. They want her all the way in, right under their thumbs. She pays the price for seeking escape and learns her lesson-she'll never see a dawn where she wakes up free.\n \n \n\n \nThen she meets Nick Sebring, and even as she fights it, the hope that died years ago starts to blossom. She can find love. She can have a man of her own. She can be happy. She can be free.\n \n \n\n \nOlivia hopes while Nick schemes.\n \n \n\n \nHowever, as Nick peels back the layers of all that is Olivia Shade, he finds something surprising. He understands its fragility. He falls in love with its beauty. He seeks to protect it.\n \n \n\n \nBut he forgets to protect his Livvie from one thing: Nick Sebring.\n
