Peter Parker Penn.

Unlike the superhero his mother named him after, Parker is no good guy.

In fact, if there’s a picture in the dictionary under anti-hero, it’s his.

Parker’s spent his life trying to get back on the right side of the tracks, but each step he takes forward, he takes two more steps back.

To save one, he hurts others. To make this good, he turns that bad.

For appearances’ sake, he plays the part. He does what people expect him to do—mostly. And at the end of each day, he goes back to his lonely apartment and wishes he was a different person. One who could fix the things he’s broken.

Then Kayla Nash forces her way into his life, and the world as he knows it is irrevocably changed.

Everything he thinks he has right is wrong. And everything he thinks is wrong is oh, so right.

One thing leads to another, and suddenly he’s growing a conscience, and trying to prove to her that he’s as bad as everybody says he is.

Yet she won’t listen.

She’s convinced that she can save him.

Little does she know, Parker isn’t worth saving, and never will be.

 

This is the second book in the Simple Man series and I have to say as much as I loved Rafe's story, Parker outdid him. Parker's story will bring a tear to your eye, he has lived a tortured life and the one person who should love him and back him no matter what turned his back on him. He's a strong man, he's dependable, a bit of a loner and more than a little bit haunted. When the woman next doors nightmares interrupt his own he's drawn to her. From there a friendship forms. Kayla has her own issues, her nightmares haunt her every night until something as simple as the touch of the quiet man next door calms her. They get close, a bond forms but she wants more. Parker's past leads him to believe he is a bad man, that he can't be good for anyone let alone a woman like Kayla, but when the heart gets involved he may have no say!! I'm not sure if there's a character this authors written that I love more than Parker at this moment, I'm sure there's som close competition as I've read a boat load of her work but Parker is so amazing. This is my new favorite book hands down!

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 9, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
