Dead Rinker - (Seattle Scorpions) by Ruth Stilling (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

She can't stand me.

She also thinks she's got me all worked out.

My Princess is determined to stay as far away from me as possible. Eighteen months ago, she wanted me, but now she's convinced I'm bad news.

The thing is, an attraction like ours doesn't just fade, and my need for her has only grown stronger no matter how many times she offers me a scowl instead of her beautiful smile.

We've been playing a game of cat and mouse since the day she wore my jersey, and fortunately for her, I love the chase. I love to watch the way her body reacts to mine. I'd fall to my knees in front of her if I didn't think she'd kick me while I'm down and unearth painful memories from my past that I've worked to keep hidden for so long.

I'm not the only one with secrets and a hurtful past, though. The walls she's built around her are so high that I doubt anyone can see the real Kate. But I can; I see it all. I know what makes my girl tick and what she truly wants from life. I was just waiting for a chance to prove it.

And now that it's here, I'm going all in to make Kate Violet Monroe fall in love with me.
