A. L. Jackson – författare

Aleena Moore is haunted by Jared Holt. It''s been six years since she''s seen her brother''s best friend, the self-destructive bad boy she secretly loved in high school. As the years pass, she knows it''s time to move on. Time to decide between a practical nursing degree and her true dream as an artist. Time to get over Jared and give another guy a chance...Just when she opens her heart to her friend, Gabe, Aly returns home to find Jared sleeping on her couch. The teenage boy she loved has grown into a man she can''t resist. Covered in tattoos and lost in rage, he''s begging to be saved from his demons - the memories of the day he destroyed his family. As the two reconnect, their passion is hot enough to torch Aly''s judgment. But can she risk her future for a man who lives on the edge of destruction?

A second chance at life...A second chance at love...Jared Holt never thought he deserved either-until he found both in the arms of Aly Moore. Aly has loved Jared for as long as she can remember, and she''s more than ready for the future they''re making together. But Jared can''t help remembering his own family. And he''ll never forgive himself for what happened to them. How can he allow himself the very happiness he once destroyed? To live a life worthy of Aly, Jared knows he has to stop running and finally put his past to rest. But when he decides to face his demons head-on, he encounters more than he bargained for: a dangerous mix of jealousy, lies, and dishonest intentions. When those intentions threaten Aly, Jared loses all control, giving into the rage that earned him his bad-boy reputation years before. And he''ll fight to protect her no matter what it costs...even if he destroys himself in the process.Praise for A.L. Jackson:''As always, A.L. Jackson knows how to tap human emotion.
