Dark Eyed Devil (Brothers of Paradise)

Previously published as "Rogue," this novel follows a woman who has sworn not to risk her heart again—especially not for Hayden Cole, the boy who broke it years ago. Hayden was her brother's best friend from the wrong side of the tracks, and they shared a secret summer together where their hearts seemed to speak the same language. He left without explanation, devastating her. Ten years later, Hayden returns from the Navy as a man, seeking a second chance. He is persistent in their small town, spending time with her brothers, fixing her fence, and watching her with eyes that recall their shared past. She is determined to keep her distance this time, though Hayden's presence makes that resolve increasingly difficult. Dark Eyed Devil is book one in the standalone Brothers of Paradise series.
