Vixen by K.D. Elizabeth

She’s my new physical therapist. I’m her older brother’s best friend.
That’s a line we shouldn’t cross.
I’ve put away many criminals as one of Atlanta’s leading detectives.
When a woman is kidnapped by the mafia, I join the team to save her.
We succeed in getting her back, but not without a price:
I’m shot three times, and barely manage to survive.
Seven months later, I still haven’t recovered from my wounds, both physical and mental.
More importantly, I have no intention of trying.
My previous life is over.
The job I loved—gone.
The body I treasured—ruined.
So when my best friend invites me to stay with him, I readily agree to some time off from my problems.
But he invited me under false pretenses.
Even though I’ve sworn off more therapy, his little sister just became a physical therapist.
And needs me to start her career.
I haven’t seen Libby in years, but she’s all woman now.
My friend warns from the start she’s completely off-limits.
Given our age gap of twelve years, that’s probably for the best.
No matter how much I might secretly be attracted to her.
An attraction that’s harder to resist with every hour I spend with her.
Then someone begins setting fires around the county.
Soon we realize the mafia don is back for revenge.
Even worse, he’s decided to start with Libby.
Suddenly, my therapy takes on a whole new level of importance.
Not so I can recover—but so I can keep her safe.
Because one thing’s for certain.
If I fail to protect her, what little I have left won’t matter.
