As the Devil’s Outlaws Sergeant at Arms, Austin Butterbaugh has no intention of getting involved. A self-proclaimed bachelor for life, he endured a broken heart and refuses to suffer the same again. But the second Cadence Fraser crosses his path, with her long blonde hair and curves, she owns him.
Sleeping with a senator didnât offer Cadence the ticket to a better life sheâd hoped for. Instead, she’s on the run for her life, straight into a badass bikerâs armsâas his ward, under the Outlawâs protection. Although fire flares to life between them, and Austin satisfies her in ways sheâd never known, fear has Cadenceâs sights set on something more.
With the senator hell-bent on eliminating every trace of his indiscretions, bodies will fall in Austin’s determination to protect Cadence. Failure wonât be tolerated, even if saving her could mean losing her forever. Her happiness is all that matters, but can Cadence fight past her fears to see a future with Austin before it’s too late?

EXCERPT:
âTake the bed,â he said and closed himself in the bathroomâwith the bottle of whiskey.
Eyeing his bed, I chewed on the inside of my lip. I glanced at the couch heâd vacated. It wasnât nearly long or wide enough for his height and bulk.
âShit.â I heaved a sigh and crawled under his comforter, burying my face in one of the two pillows. Perfume a la Austin flared heat up through my body, and I closed my eyes as the devil on my shoulder insisted scratching an itch never hurt anyone.
âThe fuck it didnât,â I muttered, punching the feather pillow and curling up on the bedâs edge, facing away from the bathroom door.
The shower turned on, and I imagined Austin using that bar of soap Iâd had all over my body running down the bumps and valleys of muscle lining his. Did he grow hard while washing his cock? His balls?
I bit the inside of my lip, determined to keep my hands beneath his pillow.
Did he stroke his length, head tipped back, while thinking about me in his bed? I knew he wanted meâthe sexual tension between us could have electrified the entire compound for a goddamn week.
A low groan snapped my eyelids open, and I held my breath, ears straining.
âFuck.â The low, drawn-out curse coming from the bathroom pebbled my skin.
Did I imagine the fisting slaps of a hand wrapped around a cock? Did my ears deceive, allowing me to think one final muffled grunt shot cum from the swollen head of his dick?
âDamnit.â I growled, my entire body like a live wire, ready to burn down my fucking life.
The water shut off, and again, I held my breath, ears ringing for sounds of his movement. Water ran again, and I realized I hadnât brushed my teethânot that I had a spare toothbrush in my bag anyway.
A quick exhale into my cupped hand revealed I wouldnât knock out a dragon, but still.
What did I care? I grumbled a bit more in my head, but the opening of the bathroom door stalled all thought.
Austin moved into the room, and I listened as he opened a cabinet and shut it. Unable to help myself, I shifted onto my back.
A towel slung low around his hips.
Goddamn, the musclesâŠ
My mouth flooded with drool, and I bit back a moan as he turned. Rippled abs snagged my focus. The sexy as fuck V of muscle disappearing beneath the towel turned my mouthâs drool factory on maximum.
âJust going to grab my pillow,â he muttered, moving toward the bed, his low voice pebbling my skin again.
âThereâs plenty of room in the bed,â I heard myself say, hating the breathless tone that escapedâand how the final word cut short on a squeak as I lifted my gaze to his face.
Quiet rang in my ears for a few heartbeats as we stared at one another, heat licking over my skin, flushing me from head to toe. The promise in his eyes of more than a mere fuck, in and out, thank you darlinâ, sent a shudder through me.
Austin wouldnât be kind or gentle in the sack. He seemed the type that would tie a girl up, use her to satisfy his every whim, and leave her a spent and smiling from exhaustion. My mouth dried, nipples pebbled to painful points.
âCouch is kind of small,â he said, tearing his gaze away first, his brow furrowing.
I tried to swallow the dryness from my throat as the tension simmering between us intensified, crackling with energy enough the hairs on my arms rose.
âYouâre very alert and cautious,â I said, desperate to get my mind off fucking and how good every inch of him would feel pressing me down into his mattress.
He grunted in agreement, hands fisting at his sides, but didnât move otherwise.
I remembered how his gaze had scanned the strip jointâs parking lot before weâd left, the glimpses heâd tossed from mirror to mirror as the miles had faded behind us, until I couldnât keep my eyes open any longer and had ended up with my head against his truckâs passenger window.
âWhat made you that way?â I asked, needing to fill the silence, needing to end the sexually charged atmosphere choking me.
âLong fucking story thatâs none of your business.â
Grumpy much? At least his abrupt words eased the unbearable ache between my thighs. âIs your name really Austin?â
âYes.â
âWhatâs your last name?â
He hesitated a moment before answering. âButterbaugh.â
The name didnât match his badass biker sexiness one bit, and I found myself wanting to giggle. âAre you really from Texas?â I asked what Hannah had already told me.
âYes.â
I nibbled on the inside of my lip again, unable to help from ogling his massive chest as he studied the apartment around us as though desperate to keep from looking at me in his bed. âWhat brought you to D.C.?â
âAnother long fucking story.â
I frowned at his disinterest in elaborating. âAre you always this closed off?â
âAre you always this nosey?â
I huffed and considered turning away, but he dropped the goddamn towel and slid under the comforter before I could move.
Blinking didnât erase the image of his semi-hard cock hanging low between his thighs Iâd caught a quick glimpse of. So much for the desert mouth. Drool flooded, and I swallowed. âYou could at least put on some boxers,â I managed to croak as if I had zero desire to have his naked ass in bed with me.
âI donât wear underwear.â
Lovely. The thought boiled my bloodâand also pissed me the hell off. I didnât want to be turned on by the mountain of a man whose care Iâd been placed under. I didnât want to be all wet, warm, and willing for his huge cock to plunder all three holes of my body.
Scratching the itch wonât hurt. I scowled at the ceiling at the devilâs voice in my ear.
âClose your eyes and sleep, Cadence. Youâre safe.â
Safe. I held in my snort. Perhaps safe from the senator for the time being, but certainly not from my libido.
