Crimson Love (The Manor)

From USA Today Bestselling Author Brynne Asher comes a small-town, woman-on-the-run, age-gap romance. Oh yeah, there’s a jewelry heist too.

I’d like to say my story began when I almost accidentally killed Jett Parker Cross, but it started long before that.
I wish I could kick this spectacle off with a “not to be dramatic” but it was. After all, Jett just had major surgery. The kind that includes a brand new, life-saving organ.
Say less.
Horrifying. Mortifying. And dramatic.
It doesn’t matter how beautiful his soulful dark eyes are, or that I have to restrain myself from touching his thick, wavy hair. When he laid his hands on me to defend himself, I liked it more than I should have.
It seems almost getting killed brings out the broody grump in Jett, even if he did face death on the regular as an Army Special Forces badass.
I’m officially obsessed.
But Jett has bigger issues. He’s the newest board member for Stonebridge Capital, and some don’t want him there. The last thing he has time for is me.
Or so it seems.
That changes when I receive a message from the life I left behind.
The life I escaped.
I’ve been found, and they want me back. What they really want are the rare jewels I took. Since they were already stolen, I like to think I’m righting wrongs and saving myself in the process.
Jett is determined to protect me. But between his family, my secrets, and him teaching me everything between the sheets, we can’t figure out which way is up.
The stakes are high.
Life and death ... with an emphasis on the death part.
In the end, we want one thing, and it’s more precious than a trust fund or jewels…
Each other.
