About
YOUR FIERCE LOVE
The strong and sexy Blake Bennett is downright
irresistible. And Clara Abernathy is doing everything she can to resist
his charm.
After spending her life in group
homes, Clara yearns for the love and warmth of a true family. With the
Bennetts treating her like their own, she can't possibly fall for Blake. That
would be crossing a line...
But when Clara needs a temporary
place to live, and she accepts Blake’s offer to move next door to him, things
escalate. Suddenly, she’s not only supposed to resist the man who’s hell-bent
on having her, but the TV station she works for is determined to dig up some
dirt on the Bennett family.
Blake knows family friends are
off-limits, and Clara is more off-limits than anyone. But Clara’s sweetness and
sass fill a hole in him he wasn’t even aware of. Soon, he finds himself
gravitating toward her, willing to do anything to make her happy.
Blake enjoys bending the
rules—much more than following them, but will bending this one be taking it too
far?
YOUR FIERCE LOVE is the seventh book in Layla
Hagen's Bennett Family series, but all books stand alone.

Excerpt
“I have an idea.” He pulls himself to his full height, which I
estimate to be at six foot two or three. Despite his height, he appears strong,
not massive. His muscular build and tapered waist make him look athletic.
Scratch that. They make him look the definition of sexy and sinful.
“Do tell, because I’m completely out of good ones.”
“The apartment next to mine above the bar is empty.”
It takes a moment for his meaning to register. Blake owns a bar,
and while I did know he owns the entire building and lives on the upper floor,
I had no idea there were two apartments there, but it makes sense. The building
is huge. There’s just one hitch in this plan. Considering the size and
location....
“I don’t think I can afford that kind of rent.”
“I wouldn’t charge you.”
This stabs at my pride. I make it a point to take the chances that
are given to me, but this feels like charity. I deliberate my answer for a
moment because I don’t want to come off as ungrateful when he’s going above and
beyond to help me.
“I wouldn’t feel comfortable with that, Blake.”
“Look, that place is empty anyway, and I’d never rent it out.”
“Why not?”
“I don’t want neighbors,” he says simply. “You’re a friend, that’s
different. And it would only be for twelve weeks tops.”
Emotions clog my throat, but I muster a smile. Even though the
Bennetts have been a constant in my life for the past two years, I’m still
surprised every time they offer to help me. Still, this doesn’t feel right. As
if sensing my doubts, he adds, “You can pay me what you’re paying for rent
now.”
“That’s more reasonable, even if not fair to you.”
“It’s fair.” His eyes crinkle as he offers me a wide smile. “Now,
since the kids seem peaceful, let’s return to the realm of grown-ups.” He leads
me away, resting one hand on the center of my back, splaying his fingers wide.
“Do you want to come see the apartment?”
“Sure. When do you have time?”
“Tomorrow would be good since it’s Sunday, but I’ll probably sleep
like the dead after this. Monday? Before happy hour begins at the bar?”
“Deal. And Blake? Thank you. You’re the one saving my bacon now.
Big time.”
His fingers press gently into my back, and he leans in dangerously
close. “I’ll be a fun neighbor, I promise.”
