Hurting To Feel — Abby Wood

Warning: No safe word allowed. Broken hero and an emotionally wounded heroine. One inflicts pain, one needs pain to feel. Both carry secrets that might destroy everything.

Nate Rafferty, grew up on the streets, fighting for survival and dominating everyone. Locked inside himself, he attempts to outrun the darkness that makes him hurt others for pleasure. Until Addison walks into his life and his fight or flight instincts threaten to ruin everything he wants…and he wants Addy.

Despite Addison Flints attraction to Nate Rafferty, her fear of having her secret uncovered prevents her from letting anyone close to her. But when Nate puts his hands on her, leaving her bruised and aching for more, she feels for the first time. And, when she feels, she's afraid of losing the hand that touches her.
