Defiant

<p><em>She hates me.</em></p><p>And for good reason.</p><p><br></p><p>I put her brother away ten years ago. But it's up to me to keep Wicked Beach safe.</p><p>Suddenly there's a new dealer on the beach and getting close to Shelby could get me the answers I need.</p><p>But it's becoming a lot harder to hate her when she's tearing my walls down.</p><p>Because Shelby knows my secret.</p><p>I need her but this girl knows how to put up a fight.</p><p><br></p><p><em>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!</em></p>
