Description

On the run, I never expected Archer Sin-reclusive, arrogant, and tattooed-to be the doorstep I landed on. Even though he hates me too, Archer agreed to keep me safe from the man who left me broken and bruised. It should be easy to stay out of each other's way when we're complete opposites. He wants nothing to do with me and I want nothing to do with him, other than the haven he's providing. Archer is always glued to his computers anyway, brown hair falling over his eyes as his inked fingers dance across the keyboards. But as I try to start over in this new city, my reluctant protector is stalking me, ruining every date I go on. I should hate how Archer watches me, eyes tracking me, but I don't. One drunken forbidden kiss alters everything. You can't outrun the past forever. Our fate was sealed before we ever began. Set in the Sinners and Angels universe, can be read as a standalone. Meant for mature audiences. Previously titled Grumpy Billionaire Bad Boy.
