About this ebook

I’m the star defenseman for the Portland Icehawks and the guy everyone loves to hate. Not that I don’t deserve their hatred. After all, how can you like a guy who doesn’t even like himself?

Michella is the one woman I can’t let go, yet I can’t be with her, either. We’re like drugs to each other, and addictions aren’t a good thing. I’ve messed up a relationship before and destroyed the one person I loved. I can’t do the same to Michella.

To make matters worse, Michella’s new job with a private investigative agency puts her in the crosshairs of Portland’s elusive serial killer. I have to protect her, even if staying causes more destruction than leaving.

Ratings and reviews

This is Briggs and Michella’s story and the addition of a serial killer stalking women in the area added an element that had me riveted. I was surprised at the number of twists and turns throughout this book and there were times I was on the edge of my seat whilst reading. Briggs is a broody, often surly man but underneath is a man who has been hurt and one who to protect himself would rather shut everyone out of his life. Michaella is the one woman who can get through to him.
