I’m not looking for a hero, and definitely not a fake relationship with my new boss, nightclub owner Dante Fury—over six feet of dark, hot, and dangerous. But he isn’t taking no for an answer. The plan was to run, live under the radar, survive. My life’s been destroyed by some very bad people and everything I know is gone—career, friends, family. I thought I could hide as a bartender at New Orleans’ hottest new club, Ember.

There wasn’t a lot that surprised me. My years in the Navy taught me a lot, my years hunting human traffickers taught me the rest. Meeting a beautiful woman in a bar and spending the night with her should’ve been a blip on my radar. Instead, I spent years trying to forget her. In the middle of a rescue operation, fate dropped her back into my life, but there was a twist—she wasn’t alone.

Story
Tatiana Jones is no stranger to the battlefield. One look at her scarred flesh tells the tales of her time in captivity. But it’s not only her skin that bears the marks of her failures; doubt and a healthy dose of cynicism now cloud her vision. She has also mastered the fine art of deception. In her line of work it is a necessity.
Written by: Riley Edwards, and others
Publisher's Summary
She needed to win him at the bachelor auction to save her friend, but she didn't plan on falling in love.
Cora Rooney desperately needs to win the representative from The Refuge at the veterans’ charity auction—it’s literally a matter of life or death. Of course, as is so often the case for the ex-orphan, nothing goes according to plan, and Cora loses her bid. Yet, she still finds herself in a diner with Bryson Clark, telling him about her best friend, who she suspects has been kidnapped and held against her will. After exhausting all other options, Cora’s convinced Pipe and his former military friends are her last chance to rescue Lara.
Bryson “Pipe” Clark had no desire to participate in a bachelor auction. Hell, most women run in the other direction when they see him coming. Why in the world would anyone spend good money for a night in his company? Still, he lets himself be talked into supporting a good cause, and as it turns out, the auction is the start of a mystery he’s now determined to unravel. Mostly because of the woman he’s strangely attracted to from her very first bid.
Finding Lara Osler is the easy part. Determining if she fled DC with her boyfriend of her own free will—and breaking her out of his estate if she didn’t—isn’t quite so cut and dried. Along the way, Pipe finds there’s much more to Cora than meets the eye...kind of like him.
Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan, but Pipe’s not going to let anyone or anything get in his way of making Cora his own and rescuing her friend—not even a serial killer hiding in the wings.
Deserving Cora is the fourth book in The Refuge series. Each book is a stand-alone with no cliff-hanger endings.

Amazing storytelling!
There were parts of this book that had my heart beating so hard, that had me yelling and gesturing so much, I’m sure anyone who saw me thought I was having an attack of some sort! The story was that good, that engaging, that epic, there really was no other response that was appropriate. On top of that, there were moments that made me tear up and cry. All the emotions and moments that the characters went through, you felt along with them, and the good, the bad, (the squishy, eww) you were there for it all <3

Heartwarming, heartbreaking, heart-mending, heart-racing!!!
Just an all-around satisfying book. Stoker never disappoints. The characters, especially the no-nonsense strong femake kead, resonate and connect with the reader, and the storyline thrills on every level. Major trigger warning for sexual assault, that part was hard to listen to but makes me all the more eager to see that villain get what's coming to him. Well done.
