Knot Yours — Jo Chambliss

He's sworn off women, she can't risk falling in love…

The only girl Austin “Spatch” Madden has time for is his service dog named Piper after his wife gave birth to a child belonging to someone else. A training accident makes him walk away from his career in the Rangers, leaving him a wandering nomad until meeting an up-and-coming CEO named Dillan Knot.

Marisol Borrero is the princess in her story. Unfortunately, hers is a kingdom of evil. Her father occupies a high-ranking position in the Puerto Rican Mob. When her brother dies of a mysterious illness and her mother is murdered, Marisol escapes the mafia life in search of a meaningful life.

A dangerous age-gap romance

Austin's new tenant captures Piper's heart and makes his beat again, but a rival family decides they want to use Marisol's pharmacological skills to enhance their drug business. And they won't take no for an answer.

Marisol leaves, returning to her father's protection to avoid Austin becoming collateral damage. Austin has found the one woman he can't live without and refuses to accept that she's gone.

Back in Puerto Rico, Marisol ends up in an even worse situation, and the man she walked away from is the only one that can save her from this life once and for all.
