Fall in love with a mysterious and tortured hero in this #1 New York Times bestselling author's steamy, suspenseful romance about an "irresistible" (Booklist) British alpha and the one woman who may be able to save him -- as long as he can protect her from his dark past.

Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-USX-NONEX-NONEMicrosoftInternetExplorer4Named to RetailMeNot's "List of the 23 Must-Read Books of 2019"! Named one of the "Most Popular Books Published in February 2019" by Goodreads!

Izzy White knows of the darkness in this world. After all, she escaped it long ago. Determined not to let her past beat her, Izzy has a secure, stable life with a job she loves in nursing. But one act of kindness will completely upend everything she's so carefully built-putting her right back in the crosshairs of danger she's been so desperate to avoid.

When Theo Kane shows up like a knight in shining armor, Izzy can't help thinking she's been saved from one threat and exposed to another. His imposing physique, the harsh lines of his face, and the wariness of everyone who comes close are just a few clues to Theo Kane's notorious reputation. The man is positively terrifying. But with Izzy, he's tender and a complete gentleman, and her fascination with the mysterious beast of a man becomes too powerful for her to walk away.

As Theo's demons come to light, running becomes even more impossible. And yet staying together could doom them both.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A magnetic mutual attraction, a superalpha, and long-buried scars that are healed by love. Theo is irresistible.

-- "Booklist"

Malpas' sexy love scenes scorch the page, and her sensitive, multilayered hero and heroine will easily capture readers' hearts. A taut plot and a first-rate lineup of supporting characters make this a keeper.

-- "Publishers Weekly"

About the Author

Jodi Ellen Malpas was born and raised in the Midlands town of Northampton, UK, where she lives with her family. Working for the family construction business fulltime and with the prospect of taking it over once her father retired, she tried to ignore the lingering idea of writing a novel until it became impossible. She finally found the time and courage to release her creative streak and in October 2012 self-published This Man as an e-book. She took a chance on a story with some intense characters, notably Mr. Jesse Ward, the Lord of the Manor, and sparked incredible reactions from women all over the world. Two months later, Jodi made the decision to give up her day job to concentrate on her new and very unexpected career in writing.

I love the works of this author!! Once again she has captured our attention with the beauty behind the ugly truth. A beautiful rugged specimen of a man, Theo has the ugly scars inside that creates the untouchable monster in that cage. Izzy, has touched him and you have got to read on to discover why this damaged girl is able to do what nobody else can. Great reading with an amazing epilogue that leaves you begging for more.

All of you Jodi fans and those of you who are not yet go and buy this book if you haven't read her books yet.
The story and the characters, just everything about this book is great. You will smile, laugh and get a lump in your throat. The way Jodi writes makes you feel like you are in that world and that you are a part of the story. You will enjoy reading about the two main characters relationship, all the trials and tribulations they go through. You will be happy with the way everything turns out. You will like all of the characters. When I finished reading this book I had to tell her what I thought so I sent her a private message because I knew I would say something that I can't write here, it would spoil the book for you. At the end I thought to myself and I even said it aloud, "what a great book!" From the first of her books that I read, which was This Man, I knew that she would be a writer/author whose books I would read. A lot of people have said lots of good things about her writing and her books. You will like this book and all of her books! This is her latest book. Her next book will be out in November. You can see it now at Amazon. It has a couple on the front, the female has a red dress on. I forgot to tell you that I liked the epilogue so much that I went back and I read it again. I've read lots and lots of books but only a couple of them did I go back and read the epilogue again. I won't spoil it for you. Bye.

Ever want to be the heroine in a book? Despite the Alpha-Protector-Stalker qualities of the Hero? Yeah, I want to be Izzy right now in every single way. :::Sigh::: -- I forgot how much I missed JEM stories. I absolutely adore her broken men. Even in all their brokenness, they bring you to your knees, swooning and just wishing they were real in your life. They are unique in their broken-ness but the beauty in their pain is just....beautiful. Theo is just one of those men. "You’re all I can think of when I’m awake...You’re all I see in my dreams.....I crave your touch, and it’s driving me wild because I can’t let you have free rein over me." When two broken people are put in each other's paths, do we see it as fate? Izzy can't imagine why Theo would want her in his life. He is BIGGER than life and could have any woman he wants. Theo can't imagine why Izzy would want to be with someone as broken as he is, but also can't imagine anyone else being able to break through his walls. Can a person who ultimately fears violence and another who ultimately lives in violence learn to put their terrors aside for the greater possibility of forever? Superb writing that truly draws you in and makes you feel for the broken man despite the life he leads and makes you want to not put the book down for even a minute but also wants to make you throw your book across the room in fear, anger, and denial. This hit every single check-mark for me in what I look for in a story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secrets, suspense, spice and seduction...
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019

The hardest thing for me to do is not compare JEM’s stories to my beloved “This Man” series. I love this author and the sexy love story of desperation she delivers in this book. It’s got that insta-lust/love/obsession trope goin’ on and gives an excellent delivery. Definitely a lot of heat, sexual tension, mystery and sex between two broken people, who find their way home, to keep a reader satisfied. I gravitated to Izzy’s character and could relate to her. She’s genuinely human. She’s a dedicated nurse, totally focused on her career and not looking for a relationship or even dating. She’s survived abuse so she’s cautious in everything she does...constantly on guard, keeping her defenses and survival skills sharp. Her environment safe. Never relaxing or becoming dependent on anyone. Theo Kane is a gentle yet complicated and contradictory man. He lives a dark, controlled life...filled with secrets and mystery. He’s accustomed to getting what he wants and once he meets Izzy, he sets his sights on her. A few moments of manufactured drama but all in all, a heart-clutching story of love conveyed with impeccable writing skill. For the first time I wished for a cliffhanger.

4.0 out of 5 stars Theo is perfection.
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2019

I loved this book so much from the start. Izzy and Theo are wonderful and the connection between then was gorgeous. It is likely to be a book I come back to again, though I may have to stop short of the end.
Unfortunately, I had to knock off one star because I found the end deeply disappointing. (Spoilers ahead!)
After all of the buildup of both characters' issues throughout the story, the wrapup felt a little anticlimactic, particularly in terms of Theo and his phobia. Having Izzy suddenly be pregnant is upsetting on its own because it came out of nowhere and had no real relevance to the plot (an HEA does not require a baby!), but the fact that Theo's phobia is magically cured with the birth of his daughter and he can suddenly be touched by anyone is absurd and reductive of just how much work goes into getting to the other side of such a phobia. I was looking forward to watching him and Izzy work through his difficulty with touch and would have found it more believable for him to continue to struggle to let anyome else touch him.

However, everything before the surprise pregnancy and epilogue worked really well for me. The characters are just as wonderful as Jodi's previous ones have been. I'm certain Theo will live in my heart for a long time to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Theo Kane, one very dynamic Male.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 12, 2019

This author goes from strength to strength. Theo Kane a fantastically athletic, masculine physique of mega Alpha proportions who has many secrets, phobias but one addiction Izzy White. She also has a past, no family and a fear that has made her haunted. Her profession is that of a nurse, of which she is very proud and puts to a very caring use. All the characters that Jodie writes about are so believable. Callum a caring bodyguard and friend. Jess a colleague and flat mate to Izzy. It all starts in a dark alley when Izzy encounters a terrible experience that reminds of the past, but results in her future. It is dark in places, and humourus in others. The love and romance between Theo and Izzy is so absolutely breath taking. Sad in places but so deliciously hot in others. The storyline flows so well with plenty of knowledge about medical jargon, relationships, trust and disclosure issues. Each character builds with the advancement of the novel, and are so well described that the reader feels automatically that you know them personally. There is drama, adventure, and bucket loads of intrigue. The plot flows easily but is most definitely difficult to second guess. As ever the main characters are so adorable, tough, rugged and human too. There are times when you want to cry, times when you want to laugh, but when the book is finished all you really want to do is start to read it again. This author has never written an ordinary, run of the mill novel. Cage fighting, nursing and other dark subjects are discussed and described, tastefully, thoughtfully and sensitively. The side characters are strong enough to have a novel to themselves but Jodie creates and we readers enjoy. She must have a very vivid imagination, and a very active mind, and long may it continue.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2023

Great writing style, and enjoyable story! All the best romance authors don't do a male POV, and there is a good reason for that. So this book ticked all the boxes... but one! To me, a person either gives in to a phobia, or trauma, or they fight it and develop coping mechanisms. Strong people, with strong minds will conquer their fears. I understand we are not all strong people, whether that's due to genetics or intelligence, or both - I don't know. But imo, a hero that is written as an alpha, controlling, strong successful man, would not be controlled by a phobia. I understand that it makes for added depth in the romance, but I find it a bit off-putting in a so-called 'hero'.
