Sin for Me by Jackie Ashenden

I love Jackie Ashenden. She writes some of the best alpha bad guys with a heart of gold when you dig deep and a protective possessive streak a mile long. Gideon fit that description to a tee. Zoe was his, but he didn't want to claim her. He saw her as his younger foster sister and was ignoring the woman she'd become. He sheltered her, and she wanted to break free. Freedom was not all she wanted though. She also wanted Gideon and had for a long time. She was just tired of being hurt by the way he ignored her needs and treated her like a teenager. Gideon believed he was doing what was best for Zoe. There were secrets she didn't know that could place her in danger if he didn't continue to keep her hidden. 

Honestly, Gideon was not nice at all at first. It was his way or the highway. Zoe had played into this system for so long that it was hard for her to break free. When she finally challenged Gideon, she rocked both their worlds. 

I received an ARC from Net Galley for honest review.
