Tempted By His Touch

Saint has never let anyone close. What happens when Gabriel Rockford refuses to stay away?
He learned early that those in power always take, so he keeps life simple. To the public, he runs security at a high-end club where he can hit what needs hitting and no one asks about the bruises. In secret, he takes jobs through the Blue Note Lounge, handling problems for people who need creeps scared off, or disappeared.
It’s a clean system. No feelings. No trust. Until Gabriel Rockford ruins everything. Too polished. Too persistent. Far too dangerous to the walls Saint built to survive. Alphas like Gabriel are only there for a good time, and Saint is the farthest thing from an easy ride. His cracks are filled with cement, and no amount of charm from a rich Alpha is going to break through. So why can’t he just walk away?
When an old enemy resurfaces, hunting the Rockfords and anyone tied to them, Gabriel’s refusal to respect boundaries crosses a line. Secrets are exposed, scars are ripped open, and Saint’s fragile trust shatters.
Now danger is closing in, and the only way out is together. But for Saint, survival has always meant standing alone. Can Saint, who’s only ever survived through control, learn to trust the one man strong enough not to break him?
