In a moment of rare heroism, Cree rescued a beautiful blond stray. It was the dumbest move he's ever made. A few months back, while tailing someone for his boss, Cree rolled right into a domestic dispute. As someone raised by monsters, he can't stand idly by while a tiny sprite gets beaten down by a behemoth. When he stepped in, he planned to take care of business and move along. Instead, he walks face first into the greatest love of his life... and the thing that might completely destroy him. Nebraska's whole life has been exhausting. When he ends up living with complete strangers, hundreds of miles from home, he should be terrified. Instead, it's the lightest he's felt in years. The problem is they're all killers and generally bad men. He knows he's not free to leave. Not alive, anyway. Yet Nebraska has never felt safer, and he can't shake the one heated gaze that follows him everywhere. He's never been happier. Now all he has to do is survive... and make his surly bodyguard fall in love with him. No pressure. Fiendish Ways is the fifth book in Charity Parkerson's Damaged Devils series. These are dark romance stories with crime lords, assassins, and sociopaths who find their hearts. They are best enjoyed when read in order.
