On the Brink of Bliss • A.L. Jackson

The last thing I expected when I found a trespasser bathing in my river was for it to be her…

Daisy Adair is forever my dream girl. From when we were best friends in high school to finding her now on my property, three kids in tow. She is gorgeous in every way possible. When she tells me she’s on the run from her ex, I promise to do anything to keep them safe, even marry her to protect her kids.

I became a recluse for a reason, though. The life I chose is full of wickedness and peril. The last thing I need is the object of my every fantasy invading my space and risking her life because of me. But that single kiss at the altar rips through every barrier, our passion unleashed.

Until we discover the threat surrounding her is grimmer than either of us imagined. Now I’m fighting to save her and her children before our second chance at forever is burned to the ground…
