Bound in the Streets by Tamsen Parker

I let Cris into my life and look what happened: I got attached. Now I have feelings, and feelings are the worst. The truth is that I more than like him. I other-L-word him, which doesn’t solve anything; it makes everything worse. I’ve loved people in the past and it got me heartbroken, betrayed, and abandoned so no thank you. My job that I’m usually so competent at is killing me, Cris wants more, and I can’t handle it all. I can give Cris grand gestures and dirty weekends, but despite everything he’s given me I still can’t hand over my heart. Which sucks, because I don’t think he’s willing to accept any substitutes. Now what the hell am I supposed to do? **Please note: Bound in the Streets is the second book in The After Hours Series and is NOT a stand-alone. You’ll want to read Alpha in the Sheets, the first half of Cris and India's story, before you read Bound in the Streets.**
