This previously self-published debut is a charming and spicy dark romance featuring a plus-size, body confident nurse and the dangerous, tattooed man who becomes obsessed with her. Now with an all-new cover and a never-before-seen chapter. After a traumatic event at work, plus size ER nurse Lexie West decides to get away from it all and house sit for a friend in New York City. Callum Russo is a “fixer”—someone who solves problems for powerful people by any means necessary. Not much can shock him…until he returns to the city and finds a vivacious blonde standing in his kitchen. These two very different people strike a deal that allows Lexie to stay as long as she minds her own business. But it’s not long before she’s being pulled into his world, and Lexie uses her nursing skills to get Callum and his men out of a jam. As Lexie navigates the dark world Callum lives in, mutual attraction begins to grow but is their newfound love strong enough to survive?
