Sean's Sweetheart — Allie Kincheloe

Sean has spent five years cleaning up his life. He's shoved his past behind him and built a profitable business in the town's most popular dance club. Falling in love with a college sophomore wasn't in his plans. But, from the moment he rescued Talia, she brings out his every protective instinct. He tries to resist getting involved on a personal level. Talia's persistence, however, is stronger than his will. Despite just ending an abusive relationship, Talia finds an instant connection with a man unlike any she's dated before. Older, tattooed, and totally inappropriate for her, Talia couldn't keep Sean off her mind, especially once he calls her “sweetheart” in that deep drawl of his. When Talia is in danger, they discover just how strong their relationship is. Can Sean and his sweetheart make things last when horrors from their pasts come back to haunt them and family seems determined to keep them apart?
