Brick - Marteeka Karland

Serelda -- Watching my sister find the love of her life has been bittersweet. As much as I'm happy for her, I'm heartsick because I can't have the man I want. Brick is my rock. The wall between me and the rest of the world. He protects and comforts me. He's everything I need. But he does it out of pity, feeling sorry for the poor, broken woman who sought refuge in his club. I have to find a way to prove to him I'm worth his time, and that I can be the woman worthy of the VP of Iron Tzars.
Brick -- The lovely woman whose name means warrior bewitched me from the first day I saw her. Serelda is scared and vulnerable. The timid sister. I know there is a thread of steel inside her, though. I see flashes of it when I'm least expecting it. So when she runs, though I'm disappointed, I'm not surprised. What catches me off guard is the moment she tases me. I might be a sick individual, but her show of aggression turns me on more than I ever thought possible. Now, I just have to figure out how to claim her without terrifying her. And how to keep her from being taken back to the very man who tormented her more than a decade ago.
