Synopsis
Not enough.
Catherine Pope has never been enough. Every man she has ever loved abandoned her—
from her father to her fiancé. She finally accepted the fact she would never be enough to
hold any man’s heart and soul.
Then Catherine met Jackson Cole.
When her world literally collided with the sexy former Navy SEAL, everything she
always believed is turned upside down and left scattered. He made her feel alive and
desirable, consumed her with fierceness and loyalty—which completely unnerved her.
Jackson got her in a way no one ever had, giving him the power to destroy her.
If she breaks down and gives him what’s left of her battered heart—will he protect it? Or
will Catherine become an irrelevant part of yet another man’s life?
Will she get the one thing that has always evaded her – to finally be someone’s beloved?

He weaves his fingers with mine and guides me toward the windows.
“I used to come up here after my run in the mornings,” he says quietly as we look
out at the horizon.
“So you worked out and then climbed the stairs? By choice?” I ask with a raised
brow.
His throaty laugh echoes through the building as he steps closer to me. “Not all of
us find exercise dumb. There are lots of activities that can be”—he coughs and smiles—
“enjoyable.”
Jackson’s playful grin causes my eyes to widen and my cheeks to flush. Him and
his mouth!
“Well, only if you do it right.” I smile and slap him across the chest.
“I always do it right,” he says as he walks past me.
“I’m sure you do.” I mutter beneath my breath hoping he doesn’t hear.
“What was that?”
Of course he heard me.
“Nothing. Just admiring the view.” I lie and stare out the window.
“Tonight, when I’m alone, I’m going to think about how good your legs felt
wrapped around me, how your voice sounded when you screamed out my name. I’ll
remember how it felt when my dick sunk into your hot, wet pussy.” He leans down and
whispers against my ear, causing the hair on the back of my neck to stand, “And I’ll be
counting down the minutes until I have you again.”
Jackson takes a step closer to me, stalking me like I’m his prey as I counter with
another step back. Once my back hits the car door … that’s it. He has me pinned and we
both know it. He raises his arms, placing them on the frame of the car and caging me in.
His lips brush against my ear when he whispers, “Oh, but your body says
otherwise.” His body closes in on mine and the last remaining space between us
disappears. Heat floods my core, my face, my body—my lids flutter closed and I take a
shaky breath. “Open your eyes, Catherine.”

handle any more heartache. That is until she meets Jackson Cole!
Jackson is a man with secrets but the

she has the courage to tell Jackson how she feels, and unfortunately,
Jackson has some of his demons come to the surface and he ends up
pushing her away. Jackson and Catherine's story isn't over though!
And I for one can't wait to see what happens!
I would recommend this book to anyone.
