Stripped A Bad Boy Next Door Romance

I broke the rules for him. For one mind-blowing, toe-curling night. Now he’s back, and he wants all of me. He wants to know all my deep, dirty secrets. He won’t stop until he’s stripped me bare. I never thought I’d see him again, especially not in this sleepy little town that I've come to call home since my narrow escape from danger. He’s not a SEAL anymore, but otherwise he’s just as tall, dark, and dominating as I remember. I can see the hunger in his eyes. It makes me want to surrender, to submit to his desires. I want his hard, sculpted body pinning me down, claiming me as his property. Then, he moves in next door. Perfect, right? Except I need to stay away from him. He's completely, non-negotiably off-limits, even if he says he wants to protect me, even if I crave his intoxicating touch. He’s not supposed to be here. There shouldn’t be any trace of my old life left.
