If You Fall (Brimstone #1) by S. E. Lund

Miranda

Beckett Tate was the last man on Earth I should let into my safe mundane life as a still-mourning widow.

With his blond good looks, Cajun charm and fu*k me body, he was a bad boy who knew how desirable he was and had the notches on his belt to prove it. His brilliant smile and persistence finally won me over and we spent an intense week together that reminded me how good it could be.

Then he was gone without a word, leaving behind a package of letters I wrote to Dan before he died and a note warning me to stay away because he was “bad news.”

Despite his warning, I must know how he obtained my letters and why he warned me off…

Beckett

The last thing I needed was an entanglement with a new woman.

My company, Brimstone Security and Threat Assessment Inc. was in trouble due to the death of one of my partners during a mission in Afghanistan. I was focused on saving it, not seducing a new woman – however beautiful.

When I read Miranda’s letters to her now-dead husband, I had to meet her even if it was a huge mistake. Against my better judgment, I found her, pursued her and seduced her. I couldn’t resist her.

Leaving her was the hardest thing I’d done in a long time. I warned her not to find me because even if she was the best thing that ever happened to me, I could be nothing but bad news for her.
