He’s done the math. But math is no match for desire…
The Devils’ Spawn made Axel tough. Love? Love left him hard. Closed off to anything but one-night stands. Until one look at Opal shifts his comfort zone sideways. She’s sweet and sassy, the adorable Middle of his dreams. She’s also too damned young. Axel’s done the math. He’s old enough to be her father, for chrissakes.
Throwing himself into work with The Johnston Agency—the investigative arm of the Devils’ Spawn—is the only solution. He almost succeeds in keeping Opal and her longing eyes off his radar. But a string of campus disappearances and a dangerous stalker forces Axel to make the choice to sweep her away to safety.
Alone in Axel’s secluded cabin, Opal reveals the one truth that shatters Axel’s defenses. She needs a Daddy Dominant, and Axel is the only one she’s ever wanted. But Opal’s stalker is tracking her down, and Axel will risk anything to keep her out of harm’s way. Even his own life.
Bestselling and multiple award-winning author Victoria Saccenti writes what she loves to read: contemporary steamy/dark romance, PNR and Fantasy romance, MC Daddies and 20th century military. She can’t resist exploring the twists and turns of human interaction and the ways of love. Her characters are flawed, angsty, and seeking redemption. The good news is she’s an avowed optimist, so expect to read happy endings. A native of Cuba, she speaks English and Spanish fluently, loves to dance salsa and drink single malt whisky. After thirty years of traveling the world for an international company, she’s settled in Central Florida, where she splits her busy schedule between family and her active muse at Essence Publishing. However, if she could convince her husband to sell their home, she would pack up her computer and move to Scotland, a land she adores.
