Jagger: A Caldwell Brothers Novel

by Mj Fields Chelsea Camaron

USA TODAY BESTSELLER * Full of swagger and sensuality, the Caldwell Brothers series--perfect for fans of Katy Evans and Emma Chase--packs an emotional punch as the last bachelor standing fights for a woman who's worth every ounce of trouble. Jagger Caldwell is no one's hero. With a reputation for busting heads and breaking hearts on the underground MMA circuit, he lives for easy cash and easier women. But when he stumbles upon an all-too-familiar scene, painful memories awaken Jagger's sensitive side and compel him to act. As a kid, he stood by helplessly as his old man beat his mom. Now, Jagger won't let seventeen-year-old Tatiana Rand suffer the same fate. Nothing matters except saving her. Tatiana is a prisoner in her own home, at the mercy of her violent father--until an unlikely savior bursts through her door and into her life. Six-feet-plus of tattooed muscle and raw power, Jagger is no prince charming--but Tatiana stopped believing in fairy tales long ago. Despite their differences in age and, well, everything else, the sexy bad boy sparks a fire that Tatiana never knew she had--and desires that only Jagger can quench.Praise for Jagger"The youngest of the Caldwell brothers packs a good punch!
