Layla — E.L. Todd

"It isn't a choice. You will be mine." Layla... Layla had her heart broken too many times. After dating a bad guy then losing Jared to Elisa, she's done with men. She realizes she doesn't need a man in her life and chooses to keep it that way. She decides to leave the bartending job she has and pursue her dream, working as a writer for a fashion magazine. When she meets Kyle on a late night, she blows him off like all the rest. The only problem is, he won't let her. As much as she tries to ignore the attraction and connection she feels for him, it's still there. Before she knows it, she's claimed by him. But she's not sure if she wants to be... Kyle... Kyle isn't much different than his brother, Ethan. He's been around the block many times and doesn't plan on changing his mind. But when he meets Layla at the bar, he isn't only attracted to her, but amazed by her. After Layla beats up a guy for talking to her the wrong way, Kyle is infatuated. Her strong personality and no bullshit attitude immediately suck him in. He's never met someone who was as much of an alpha as he. He pursues her despite her rejections, knowing he has to tame her.
