The Hardest Love — Liza O'Connor

Sam has a new theory as to why his relationships with women never work. The problem is he's constantly falling in love with women that he rescues from serious situations. He reasonably believes saving one from great harm should result not only in good sex afterwards, but never ending gratitude.
But it hasn't been working out that way.
Thus, Sam concludes damsels in distress are incredibly ungrateful. So he decides the next woman he gets involved with will not require rescue. She will be strong and self-reliant.
Only one problem: he's never met a woman like that.
They do exist Sam. They really do. And just maybe, when you finally meet her, she'll rescue you instead.
