Elias the Wicked by K. Alex Walker

I, Kerah Moss, was on the fast-track to becoming the first veterinarian in my family.
Academics – check.
Accolades – double-check.
But then, a drop of forbidden passion entered my life, and like with all things forbidden, trouble followed and trapped me in the relationship that led to the near-fatal car accident that ended my veterinary career.
Five years later, my life is mostly back on track. I’ve got a career I love and veterinary school is once again a possibility. Everything is perfect…except for the hot-tempered former Army pilot who comes barging into the animal rescue I run at least once a week.
Elias the Wicked.
It’s how he’s known to all the staff.
A name I created for him.
He’s rude, coarse, and bullish…but whatever he throws at me, I give it back just as good.
He’s also sinfully gorgeous.
And I want him.
He’s more trouble than what I’ve already put myself through, but I want him.
However, everything is fine as long as I don’t find out he wants me too. As long as this coarse, bullish man doesn’t reignite the lust and desire, which I assumed I’d suppressed long ago, in the most erotic ways.
