Fall from Grace by LL Meyer

From the beginning, I’ve been warned away from Alejandro Bernal-Acosta.
He’s not a good man.
He’s dangerous
Keep your distance.
But every time our paths cross, the interest in his eyes is such a rush. Maybe it’s just the dark beard, or the tattoos, or the way he radiates intensity, but something tells me there’s more to him than meets the eye. And I want to know what it is.
Alejandro
From the beginning, I’ve fought my instincts to make Sophie Summers mine.
She’s too young.
She’s too sweet.
There’s an air of sadness to her already.
The violent world I inhabit would eat her alive. Besides, something tells me once I get a taste, I’ll be hard pressed to give her up. The possibility there’s more between us than just lust is enough to keep the predator in me at bay . . . until a brush with death changes everything.
And once we give in to each other, there seems to be no turning back. Too bad the real world finally catches up with us. There’s hell to pay and blood will be spilled before all is said and done.
