Big Bad Marine by Jackie Ashenden

She’s been a very bad girl…and it’s going to take a big, bad Marine to take her in hand.

Rose Hammond has had a crush on older, harder West O’Connor ever since she was a bratty teen and he was in charge of protecting her. Now she’s an adult, she’s still bratty and tormenting him is her favorite pastime. But she’ll have to be good if she ever has a hope of fulfilling her dream of being a bounty hunter. So when she’s assigned on a mission with West, she’s determined to be on her best behavior. Yet he’s so damn hot and she can’t resist. Surely one little tease is okay? Just one…

West is on a mission of revenge, and he has no intention of touching his boss’s little sister. But Rose can’t help herself, and the more she pushes, the more tempted he is to give her the punishment she’s asking for — one they’ll both enjoy. When he gives in, it’s explosive, and keeping things temporary begins to feel impossible.

But soon West will have to make a choice between the revenge he’s been chasing all these years and the young woman who gave him her heart. And there’s only one certainty: he can’t have both…
