Overview'When I need a guaranteed five-star, slow-burn romance, I pick up Mariana Zapata every time' TESSA BAILEY, #1 New York Times bestselling author 'Everything Mariana writes is pure gold . . . a true gift to romance readers everywhere' ALI HAZELWOOD, #1 New York Times bestselling author ........................................ ""Babe, I've handpicked everythin' and everyone in here. I know what I want and I get what I want,"" he breathed. ""And I keep what's mine."" He was my boss, my brother's friend, a Widow, an ex-felon, and a man I'd seen casually with a handful of women. But he was everything that gripped me, both the good and the bad. Worst case scenario if things turned awkward between us, I could go somewhere else. I'd gotten over epic heartbreak before, one more wouldn't kill me. ........................................

Except Dex Locke might just be the biggest jerk she's ever met. He's rude, impatient and doesn't know how to tell time. And the last thing they ever expected was each other. But it was either the strip club or the tattoo shop. . . . she should have chosen the strip club. ........................................ ? ? ? ? ?
