Protector by Jenny Lynn

Beckett:
Right and wrong. Good and evil. The world tries to convince us they are separate and distinct, but things are never that simple. I’m both a respected businessman, and I’m a violent vigilante. I’ve built an empire, and at night I crumble the empires of criminals. Some people prey on the weak; I prey on them. I’ve killed before. I’ll kill again. I’m a monster… and yet, she loves me, despite this darkness rising inside my soul.
Ella James. She knows all too well my intensity, my lust, my cravings. She has seen me, the real me, and despite my warnings – she still chose to be mine. I thought I was incapable of love, until I found her.
If they think they can threaten to take away the one person that makes me feel human, they’re mistaken. If they thought I was a monster before, they have no idea what they’ve just unleashed.
Ella, I will protect you.
Even if I have to burn the whole world down to save you.

Ella:
A prominent crime reporter falls in love with the most wanted vigilante in Las Vegas. It’s poetic, really. My entire career has been built on exposing criminals, yet I spend my nights lost in ecstasy in the bed of a man who has broken countless laws. Countless bones. How do I sleep at night? Deeply satisfied…
The police have limits. Beckett, doing what he does under the cover of darkness, has no limits. He goes right to the source of vice and corruption and he snuffs it out, like a crackling flame before it has a chance to grow into a dangerous inferno. He’s a wanted man, in more ways than one.
My life is more complete than I ever thought possible, and yet….
Dana. My missing sister. Presumed dead, no leads, no closure. I need to know what happened, and I’m getting close. To the criminals involved, I’m getting too close.
I thought I knew fear.
I thought I knew captivity.
I was wrong – the worst moments in my life were yet to come.
