Stand and Defend by Sloane St. James

Britt's take

Jordan is escaping her abusive fiancé and ends up housed by Camden — the former best friend of the would-be groom. Camden has major touch-her-and-die energy, and Jordan's character arc is the best part—she doesn't stay down. Dark, sexy, and fun—perfect if you love a badass woman overcoming her past and taking matters into her own hands. My favorite book in the Lakes Hockey series.
