Ajax by Wendy Smith

Ajax Monroe is unlucky in love.

The last woman he took home with him tried to kill someone he cared about, and he’s left not trusting anyone.
There’s only one woman who stands a chance of breaking down the walls he’s built around himself. But there’s no chance she’ll ever feel the same way.
Or is there?

Ajax is a novella in the Hollywood Kiwis series. It can be read as a stand alone, but to get to know the background characters better, and the past referenced, it’s better to read the Hollywood Kiwis book—specifically Rocky Ground.
