Resisting Her

by
Kendall Ryan
~
Coming
May 1, 2013
!

Agent Cole Fletcher lives for his job at the FBI, and he’s more than ready for his next assignment—raiding a cult compound and putting their leader behind bars. But he isn’t prepared for Savannah and her knock-you-on-your-ass good looks. At nineteen, she’s too old for foster care and too damaged to live on her own. With nowhere else to go and against his better judgment Cole takes her in. But helping her out won’t be easy. He helps her through screaming nightmares and
lingering fears
, and that’s the easy part. Her preference to sleep cuddled up next to his warm body, and her desire to please him in every way makes her harder and harder to resist.
