Maddox by Kate Oliver

Brynn
Rebuilding her life after escaping from the years of neglect and abuse from the one person she should have been able to trust most was definitely a challenge. Working two crappy jobs, living in a run-down apartment, and riding the bus through the worst part of town–this was not what she envisioned for her life. But now she’s free, and when she’s at home, at least, she’s safe to be who she truly is.

Maddox
Everyone in his family seems to be finding the love of their life, and they keep telling him it’s his turn. He knows he can’t be next, though, because the last time he fell for someone, he had his heart broken, and he’s not ready to go through that again. According to his ex, he was too obsessive, too bossy, too much of everything. The best solution is to never fall in love again. But when the tiny woman dancing in his club catches his eye, he can’t seem to stop thinking about her. Even though he’s sworn off love, he knows he won’t be able to turn his back on the woman who keeps calling to his Daddy side.
