At peace - kristen ashley

Violet Winters once had it all but lost it when her husband was murdered by a criminal madman.

During a cold winter night Violet has to leave her warm bed to tell her neighbor to turn the music down.

And thats when she meets sinister, scarred, scarily attractive security specialist, Joe Callahan.

She wants to deny it, but Violet cant beat back the hunger she feels for Joe so she gives in again and again.

Feeling it himself, Joe feeds Vis hunger, breaking his own rules to keep her in his bed.

Even though Violet had only one man in her life, shes sure Joe is giving her the signals and Vi decides shes ready to take a second chance at life and, maybe, love.

But Violet doesnt know the dark secrets in Joes past, secrets so soul-wrenching, theyve drained him dry.

With nothing left to give, Joes determined to live his life alone and he breaks Violets heart.

Crushed by Joes betrayal, Violet comes to terms with the fact that, no matter what signals he gave, Joe was not theirs to win.

But Violets husbands murderer is obsessed with her and heartbreak again haunts the door of the Winters home.

When it does Joe is forced to face the knowledge that he cant fight Violets pull, shes under his skin and filled him full to bursting.

Joe needs to win her back and put his life on the line to keep Violet safe.

But, having had it all once, can Violet endure losing Joe?.
