Slow Burn by J.M. Madden

Brody Bennet’s brother Ethan was killed in prison. In a random coincidence, the daughter of the man that sent Ethan to prison is sitting across from him in a meeting.

Brody is faced with a decision.
He never got the chance to get retribution against the lawyer who sent his brother to his death.
But…
Maybe he can get retribution against the daughter.
Brody puts his plan into motion, but gets tangled in his own web, drawn to Calie more than any other woman, ever.
Will he be able to go through with his retribution plans? Or can he let vengeance go for a chance at love?

Calanthe Kemp doesn’t understand the antagonism she feels rolling off the muscular former Marine. She’s never seen him before, but there’s some familiarity in his gaze, like he knows her.
There’s also a carnal want in his gaze that takes her off guard.
She’s very careful with her relationships, but just once… maybe she can break out of her country-club set and go for a bad boy.
He’s leaving in a day anyway, so what’s the harm in having a one-night stand?
