My plan was simple: move to this small town, open a vet clinic with my bestie, and save as many animals as I could. But then he walked in and ruined everything.

Ryder Carson.

The man who thinks he can boss me around the minute he has a whimpering dog in his arms.

I mean…he’s not wrong.

If an animal is in pain, I’ll do anything I can. But I draw the line at humans.

We clash in all the wrong ways, and most days, he makes me want to neuter him.

But then one night, he brings in two little rescues, and I’m too sick to treat them.

He steals my car keys, grabs me like I’m an abandoned kitten in need of a hug, and takes me home—unwillingly, I might add.

I call it a kidnapping.

He calls it a rescue.

He likes to do that, you see.

And now that he’s ‘rescued me’, he’s demanding payback.

One date.

A single date to see if the sparks between us can set us on fire.

Apparently, if I behave myself on this date, I can touch the very thing I face planted into the first day he appeared in my surgery cradling a sausage dog.

Don’t judge me. If you saw him hugging that little wiener, you would’ve stumbled into his pants too—accidentally of course.

But now I have permission.

An open invitation to see if this handsome, broody alpha is actually hiding a puppy dog heart beneath all that dangerous bite…

On a career level, Pepper currently has close to 40 books released in nine languages. She’s hit best-seller lists (USA Today, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal) almost 40 times. She dabbles in multiple genres, ranging from Dark Romance to Coming of Age.

On a personal level, Pepper lives on a farm with two minis, four horses, countless birds and wildlife, and a precious little ball of fluff called Mo. Her little house-rabbit sits at her feet while writing all the words, and always seems to know when she’s writing a naughty scene. He’s her muse and the main reason why a rabbit is on her author logo.

Now back to the writing stuff…

After chasing her dreams to become a full-time writer, Pepper has earned recognition with awards for best Dark Romance, best BDSM Series, and best Hero. She’s an #1 iBooks bestseller, along with #1 in Erotic Romance, Romantic Suspense, Contemporary, and Erotica Thriller. She’s also honored to wear the IndieReader Badge for being a Top 10 Indie Bestseller.

After releasing two books with Grand Central, Hachette (Ruin & Rule and Sin & Suffer) Pepper is a Hybrid Author of both Traditional and Self-published work.
