Downloading Hurt (Glow in the Desert 1)
Have you ever stared death in the eye and flinched first?
Kurt Beckett has. That’s all he’s ever done. After a life of abuse and pain, he did the only thing he knew how—he ran. Ending up on the doorstep of a dingy bar in the middle of nowhere was not the plan, but he supposed rock bottom never is. Between the cheap drinks and even worse music, Kurt spends his days breaking up bar fights and trying to keep his sister at arm’s length…and away from the danger that follows him like a shadow.
Have you ever loved someone who wasn’t truly living?
Willow Beckett was a violin prodigy and had the world laid out before her, until the death of her adopted parents and her brother’s suicide attempt. Faced with a choice between the life she always wanted and her brother—the choice was easy. She followed Kurt. But her brother isn’t the same, he has secrets he won’t share, and nothing Willow does can break down his walls.
Watching her brother pretend to live was worse than watching him try to die. But Willow refuses to give up. Even if it means suffering herself.
Sometimes the hero you need, is actually a villain.
Grant and Roland Weaver would never be described as heroes. Born in blood, raised to be killers, they ruled over the largest gang in the southwest with calculating cruelty. Their power has never been questioned. But those at the top always have a target on their back, and a war is brewing between the Weaver’s and their fiercest rival. What the Weaver’s don’t know, is that the Beckett siblings are going to be caught in the crossfire.
Loyalties will be tested, lives will be lost, and priorities changed. What’s stronger—a broken spirit or the will to survive?
Hurt is a romantic suspense slowburn, with multi-POV. It features a snarky bar tender and the gang leader who is determined to teach him how to hope again. There is sex, snark, gratuitous violence, dark humor, and a hard earned happy ending.
