His need to protect her is
nonnegotiable…
Navy SEAL Brent “Cobra”
Rollins never met a woman he didn’t want. He’s gotten more action than his
entire SEAL team combined, but the gorgeous brunette he barely even touched is
the one he can’t get out of his head.
Ella Thompson is working
her way through school, and the cocky, assertive Navy SEAL who stood up for her
is also wrong in about a thousand different ways. Player? Check. Older man?
Check. Interested in a relationship with her? Not a chance in hell.
When she’s all out of
options, Ella returns to her former shift at a cocktail lounge to make ends
meet. Her boss is willing to give her the job back—for a price. The only thing
scarier than submitting to him is being pawned off as payment to his enemies.
The man who can save her is the one she should never want, but he’s the only
one who’d also protect her with his life.
He tucked his phone back
into his pocket and glanced around again, realizing the entire place smelled
like Ella—fragrant. Sweet. Good.
He could tell she was still pissed at him though, judging from the way
she watched him with hands on both hips.
Her ire would have to wait—because as soon as she said a name, he was
out of here.
Tracking that motherfucker
down.
“Tell me what happened.”
She looked startled for a
moment but quickly recovered. “It doesn’t
matter,” she said quietly.
“It matters to me. If someone is hurting you, I want to know
about it. If you’re scared, I want you
to tell me. If you’re frightened of someone,
I’ll protect you. And if you tell me who
did this, I’ll be out of your hair this instant, because I’m going to fucking
kill them. Now start at the beginning.”
Ella looked
uncomfortable. “Frank said he’d give me
my old job back.”
“Yeah. Got that part.”
“But he wanted…he said….”
Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks, and it took every ounce of Brent’s strength
not to go to her. She needed to get this
out. To tell him what happened.
“I thought I could handle
Frank, but I was in way over my head. He
wanted to see me outside of work. Told
me that I had to sleep with him. I told
him no, and he threatened to take my job away.
Some of my student loans fell through for next year, so I was
desperate. I told him I wouldn’t sleep
with him, but I guess he thought he could pressure me. He said he wanted a kiss.”
“And the bruises?”
“He, uh, grabbed me in the
hall last night.”
“At work?” Rage burned through him.
“Yes. I came out of the bathroom, and he was pissed
that I’d dropped an entire tray of drinks.
The guys at the table were total assholes and deserved it. I was going to quit right then and
there. But Frank followed me into the
back hall. He grabbed my arm and
wouldn’t let me go.” Ella sniffed, her
watery gaze meeting his. “Then he made
me go down the hall to his office.”
