The Man I Need by Loretta Steel

Ezra: Knowing Tyler will soon be released from prison for kidnapping her seven years earlier, has decided to live a quiet life in the city where anonymity is possible, but then she meets Blake. After a break-in at her apartment she reluctantly accepts refuge from the handsome mysterious stranger, but it comes with a price. Blake is not the kind of man she wants in her life.

Blake: Over-protective and used to getting what he wants, finds Ezra’s independent, sassy, strong-willed attitude more than he bargained for. But taming her is less of a challenge compared to keeping her alive.

When danger comes knocking at his door Blake’s only priority is keeping Ezra safe, even if his methods might be deemed a little unconventional. Ezra is used to running from her problems but the consequences, this time, could be fatal. Before her actions destroy them both, Ezra must decide if giving into Blake’s desires is a safer option. Should she continue to fantasize over the kind of man she wants or surrender to the man she needs?
