Eventually Blake by A.K. Steel

Their relationship was doomed from the start. Too bad nobody told their hearts.

Blake Donovan is looking to start over. He’s more than just an ambitious builder; he’s the heir to a criminal empire… and his dad is looking to collect. When you’ve been raised in a family where love is a weakness, it’s impossible to let someone in. But then a one-night stand with a sexy stranger leaves him wanting more than he ever thought possible. He knows he’s not the right guy for her, with a past that could destroy them both. He should just leave her alone, but he can’t help himself, and when he sets his sights on something he wants, he doesn’t stop until he gets it. And this time, he wants her.

When aspiring artist Indie Martin’s long-term boyfriend rips her heart to pieces, she retreats to her local pub, hoping to numb the pain. When she bumps into the intense and irresistible Blake, suggesting a night of fun to help forget her hurt, it’s an offer she can’t refuse. She gives him a fake name and takes off before he wakes up; that way there’s no risk of getting invested in someone that will only break her heart. Too bad Blake has other plans. Suddenly, he’s everywhere, embedded in her life with no hope for escape. She knows she should run from him… but love isn’t about being smart.

Their romance is bound to fail before it’s even begun. Friendships, felonies, and family secrets… there are no limits to the obstacles they will face.
