Defiant — Sara Cate

She hates me.And for good reason.I put her brother away ten years ago. But it's up to me to keep Wicked Beach safe.Suddenly, there's a new dealer on the beach, and getting close to Shelby could get me the answers I need.But it's becoming a lot harder to hate her when she's tearing my walls down.Because Shelby knows my secret.I need her, but this girl knows how to put up a fight.Warning: Defiant deals with issues of child abuse and assault. It is the third installment in the Wicked Hearts series, although each book could be read as a standalone. It wouldn't be a Sara Cate book without tons of angst and a hate-to-love-him alpha-virgin and a feisty heroine ready to show him the ropes, literally. Welcome back to Wicked Beach!
