Ashleigh’s King by Clarice Jayne

Brandon James has known Mason King for over ten years. Mason was his commanding officer throughout his time in the SAS, and now his boss and best friend. They are like brothers. However, Brandon holds a secret that he has never told a soul, the secret of a love he lost one fateful day in Paris two years ago. This was the reason why he has never loved again.
Ashleigh Thomas has been on the run for what seemed most of her adult life. Every day was spent trying to escape the clutches of a stepfather that killed her mother and now wants her in his bed. She had never allowed herself to get close to anyone, except for one man, the love she left in Paris. She hadn’t wanted to leave like that, but they were too close, and she couldn’t risk losing him forever.
When fate brings them back together, can they continue where they left off in that hotel room in the city of love, or is the pain too deep for them to bear? When Ashleigh’s past finally catches up with her, can Brandon hold on to her this time, or will she be gone forever?
