Annie Summerhill thinks of herself as one who can provide refuge and protection for those who need help, especially indigenous women who are members of the Oneida nation.
Lukas Mattson thinks of her as a stubborn, strong-willed beauty who takes way too many risks. From the first time he saw her, beaten and kidnapped by her best friend's ex, he has wanted her and knows she needs him. Unfortunately, she doesn't feel the same way about the 6'5" Viking who has invaded her life and insists she needs rules and protections. For months, he has patiently worked to wear down her reluctance to begin a relationship in which he could reasonably protect her from the dangers of acting as the go-to person for help on the reservation.
Finally, he takes matters into his own hands and forces the issue by allowing his dominant side to prevail. Will she come to accept his take-charge-or-there-will-be-consequences attitude and become his little girl, or will she continue to put herself in harm's way, ignoring his threats of punishment?
Publisher's Note: This steamy, Native American romance contains elements of power exchange.
