Publisher's summary

From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a single-dad, enemies-to-lovers stand-alone romance about a jaded club owner and his son’s teacher....

Eden Murphy came into my club looking to make some extra cash.

A girl like her didn't belong in a place like this.

She'd get ripped to shreds.

Most likely by me.

There's nothing but sweetness dripping from her sexy little body, and I'm the monster who's salivating to get a taste.

Trent Lawson is the last man I should want.

Dark.

Dangerous.

So wickedly gorgeous he makes my knees weak.

He's also an arrogant jerk who happens to be my new boss.

When I discover his adorable son is also in my kindergarten class, I know I have to keep my distance.

But neither of us can ignore the attraction that flames.

One glance, and our hearts race.

One touch, and we’re aching for what we can’t have.

One night, and we’re falling fast.

Dragging her into my sordid world is wrong.

It doesn’t matter.

Eden Murphy is mine.

*CWs for this title are available on my website.

I LOVE THIS AUTHOR.. & IMO THIS IS HER BEST WORK

This supremely talented author has written an intense and riveting romance that weaves around emotional damage and conflicted despair as head wars with a hero's charred heart. Nobody writes tangible all-consuming chemistry like this author and the sparks between good girl Eden and bad-boy Trent are instant.. and there’s something wonderful and beautifully desperate as light meets dark which ignites an all-consuming fire. Trent escaped a dark MC world and he thinks his past sins have condemned his soul to Hell.. but his Kitten will see the sweet soul beneath his sinner’s tarnished veil.. and that will lead to absolution, love, redemption and an organic growth of a beautiful new family.

With his sins and darkness clearly etched over his skin, this handsome dark hero oozes danger.. and his new Bar Waitress is instantly drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Their seismic chemistry causes unwanted animal attraction.. but it’s the angsty fireworks between bruised souls that will lead to lines being crossed in a war of desire vs demons. However, as they slowly claim each other’s hearts, Trent’s feared demons become very real.. and dark forces and secrets in both their pasts will corrupt, taint, shock, shatter and threaten their present.. and their happy ever afters.

Worth a credit? A big bulging Y E S.. there’s delicious ups and downs in their sizzling conflicts. There’s a wealth of emotions in the addictive chapters that follow. And there’s a sweet little cherished boy who is Daddy’s only reason for living.. until a desperate Kitten walks into his Bar looking for a job. The excellent dual POV narration by Connor and Desiree fit the main and secondary characters perfectly, their talents brought the full list of feels to life and they made this a memorable audiobook.

Thankfully not a wasted credit!

I really enjoyed this story and I liked the characters. The narration was spot on. One of the better books I’ve listened to in a while! I hope we get more of Judd and Logan next.

OMG!!!

If I could give you million stars I would, I just … I don’t think I can say how profound this book was and their story just blew me away, and please keep these narrators on, aside from Sebastian and Andi Ardt they are eloquent and great voices, but I had to admit that I liked the Connor and Desiree, actually made the sounds, in their conversations when a gasp or a snort they actually made the sounds and it was done so fluent it was like they were actual real people having conversations, and Gage was adorable, I didn’t wanted to end and by far one of my favorites along with all of me, land Stone in the sea, love all your books but these are on the top of my lists, but this one just had me, laughing, crying, or just saying OMg so many times that my poor husband was asking what was wrong and I said !shush! Don’t interrupt , thank you for this book and may to come ❤️ Maria.

Absolutely breathtaking!!

Everything this author writes is absolutely beautiful!! Her dialogue, including inner dialogue, is so romantic, so beautiful. Her prose is OUTSTANDING!! No one writes romance like she does!

This story of Trent and Eden, and also little Gage, was so beautiful. I got lost in it! I swooned, laughed, cried and swooned, laughed and cried again. The emotions I felt for this little family to be were immense.

If you enjoy good romance, you have to try one of Jackson’s books!!

So sweet!

I really loved the characters. I loved the brotherly love and how the openly expressed it. I love how much Trent’s son and how much he loved his brother. I loved how even though they experienced some really dark moments it didn’t hardened them to the point where they couldn’t love their son and nephew. Trent thought he was dead inside but it’s not true, you can’t be to love your family as deeply as he did. Loved this story, will read it a few more times for sure. The narrators were great as well. I would of loved to hear Jason Clarke narrate this story.

Narrator’s

The narrator’s make such a difference in the story. I felt the narrator’s were a little flat, not as expressive as they should have been. Desiree was a little nasal at times. I actually fell asleep for 10 chapter’s. I love book’s on tape, but this narration was disappointing and monotonous which made the story at time’s boring.
