Publisher Description

NYPD sniper Matt Donovan is in Hell. Instead of driving his best friend's little sister home, he's been convinced to offer her roommate a lift: a fresh-faced ray-of-sunshine with a body that makes grown men weep.

There's no way he'll allow himself to be tempted by the little vixen, no matter how hard she tries to tempt him, so he resigns himself to the longest—and hardest—drive of his life.

Lucy Mason had no idea her brother's best friend was so deliciously hot. Knowing he'd never have his wicked way with his buddy's sister, she pretends to be her roommate. All the better to seduce him.

But Matt's no fumbling college boy. His desires run deep—and dark—and he wants to teach Lucy what wicked really means.

Matt's demanding appetites only make Lucy want more. But when her cover's blown, he's furious—even as his hunger for her becomes insatiable.

Matt can't trust anyone, least of all himself. And he knows all too well that darkness always destroys the light.
