The last thing she needs right now is a guy, especially one as sweet and sexy as Jed. When the attraction becomes too strong to resist, she gives into it.

When fate and misunderstandings threaten the already delicate relationship, can they survive? When Anna’s demons threaten to be unearthed and Jed’s inner alpha only seem to make them worse, can they overcome? Is it even worth it?

When I was eleven, life crushed me into grotesque, mangled fragments. I glued the shards of myself into a mosaic fitting of a child. I learned one important thing from that experience. Control. Controlling your destiny keeps the vultures at bay. Control keeps my life from disintegrating. It keeps my life on the path to the woman I want to be. Not who they say I am. As time goes on, life hits and smashes and I take it. Every snide word, every crack in my heart, every self-righteous glance again and again. Screw that. I’m done. It’s my turn to screw. * This is a spin off of Worth It with different characters and can be read as a stand alone. less
