title: Brute
author: Daiko, S.C.
description: He's bad. He's broken.
  And he likes it rough.
  
  Daniel Collins... hunky single dad... and my neighbor.
  Arrogant, bad-mannered, and reclusive.
  They call him
  the Brute
  .
  
  I should stay away from him... except I can't.
  
  Not when he reveals his brokenness,
  and I glimpse the pain in his eyes.
  Not when his touch unravels me,
  and the heat between us could set the oceans alight.
  
  But play with fire, and you will get burned.
  
  A fragile heart can easily be broken again.
