Wicked and True

Written by Shayla Black

Narrated by Troy Duran

He'd protect her from the world. But who will protect her from him?

For agonizing months, Chase "Zyron" Garrett has been forbidden from touching Tessa, the pretty office assistant who makes him burn. But when danger strikes EM Security Management and top-secret information is leaked, it's obvious the team has a mole . . . and the evidence points to the woman he's fallen for.

The bosses demand he investigate her, so he resolves to stop at nothing, even stripping her bare-body and soul-for the truth. Tessa Lawrence has known heartbreak in the past, but Zy has always been her staunchest protector. Since he was contractually off-limits, the Southern, sassy single mom clung to her friendship with the daring demolitions expert who'd stolen her heart and focused on making the best life for her daughter.

But when the barriers between her and Zy are suddenly gone, she welcomes him into her bed, not realizing she's giving him the power to destroy her. Or that the enemy is watching. Then the unthinkable happens, and Tessa is forced to make the most gut-wrenching choice of her life. Will their love survive the betrayal or will their future end before it's even begun?

Contains mature themes.
