Provocation (NCA Security #3)
Breanna Riley
At fifteen, Vivienne DuBois was beaten and discarded onto a Portland sidewalk when her pimp was done with her. Desperate to evade the reemerging demon from her past, she seeks out the man who saved her. The retired, balding cop she expected is actually an sexier than sin, arrogant ex-marine who can clap back her insults as quickly as she dishes them out. The shock of discovering the one who sat by her bed for three days as she lie sedated in a hospital bed, disappearing before she woke upends all of her plans.
A decade ago, Alex didn’t know that the battered teenager he kept vigil over would come back into his life in such an explosive manner. The sassy redhead upends his status quo, and unearths memories buried deep for years. Viv can’t control her mouth; Alex can’t control his anger, and neither can control their hypnotic attraction to each other. Together, they make an explosive match; the delicate game of cat and mouse with Vivienne’s pursuers threatening to rip apart their sanity and everything they hold dear.
