The Imperfections: Discreet Cover

This is an alternate cover for The Imperfections , a dark forbidden standalone romance by Sam Mariano. Brantley Morrison is a drinker of whiskey, a solver of problems, and a collector of mutts; the kind of loyal, hardworking guy you want on your side--and you'd best not get on the wrong side of. Alyssa Walton never meant to find herself on Brant's bad side--never even met the man until he showed up in her bedroom with a loaded gun and a plan to destroy her. When Alyssa and Brant collide, his simple problem-solving mission gets a lot more complicated. Turns out, Alyssa is nothing like he expected, and she just might be everything he's ever wanted. Sure, she's a little afraid of him, but every relationship has its obstacles. Brant's never had anyone like Alyssa around, someone loyal and kind who smoothes over his rough edges like she was born to do it. Alyssa's never met a man like Brant, either, and while she admires his protective nature and the way he looks out for those he loves, she can't help wondering... who's looking out for Brant? But the stolen paradise he's found with Alyssa can't last forever, and Brant has to make an impossible choice. Does he give up the girl who has brought sunshine into his lonely life, or does he hold on tight, even if it might mean letting down the people he's spent his whole life protecting? ** The Imperfections is a full-length standalone novel that includes dark and sensitive themes.
