When her last relationship ended badly, Aria fled to Scotland. Running Ardnoch Estate provides distance from a life that has never fit comfortably.

However, their fiery liaison leads to a deep emotional connection that unsettles them both, and North will have to break down more than Aria's trust issues if they're ever to have a future together.

She put aside passion for practicality, earning her degree in a subject she likes, but doesn’t love. Same for her job as a junior architect. And don’t even get started on her personal life…been there, done that, got betrayed for her effort. So when sparks fly after meeting a renowned MLB player while on vacation, she takes him for what he is—a homerun in the sack, but nothing more. The next day, she sneaks back to Montana, leaving Bryson behind…but the memories of their night together refuse to disappear so easily.</span><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><span style="text-align: center; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3);">Bryson Robinson knows exactly what he wants.

She has no interest in long-distance dating…so when the league’s best pitcher gets devastating news that could be the third strike for his career, he turns it into a win, going all in to get the girl.

But it was all fake.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The wedding, us, what he did for a job. None of it was real.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Except it was.</div><div style="text-align: center;">They say he’s nothing but Mayhem, yet when he’s with me, he’s my salvation. Everything I need and more. The problem is…</div><div style="text-align: center;">He has a fascination for blood.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I can’t handle it, in more ways than one.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He has a fascination for me.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hate it, even though I can’t stop thinking about him either. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Some people should not be together, and that’s us; we could never work.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But letting go is impossible when my serial killer of a husband is determined to prove me wrong.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="display: inline !important; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000" face="sans-serif" size="3">Add to Goodreads: </font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="display: inline !important; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000" face="sans-serif" size="3">https://bit.ly/3Q4UM6k</font></span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; display: inline !important;"> Links to Buy:</span><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Universal: https://www.tlsmithauthor.com/books/moments-of-mayhem/</div><div style="text-align: center;">Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGHVQDHY</div><div style="text-align: center;">B&N; https://bit.ly/46x0RxG</div><div style="text-align: center;">Apple: https://apple.co/3F1s686</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1B0A6_INllIsdly40pcOLNxqpBhU_Z2jW" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1B0A6_INllIsdly40pcOLNxqpBhU_Z2jW" style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Review</div><div style="text-align: center;">I absolutely loved this book! Kenzo is definitely my favorite Hunter Brother. He had a caring side that he could no longer hide once he encountered Mayve. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Talk about opposites attracting. Kenzo gets joy from pain. The sight of blood sends Mayve to her knees. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The story is centered around Kenzo and Mayve's hostilr and angsty fake relationship but one can only pretend for so long. </div><div style="text-align: center;">We also get to catch up with Kyson and Zuko and the ladies that tamed them. But most importantly we get a resolution to the turmoil with Pops. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">This series is dark romance. Read the trigger warnings if necessary. I loved this series and will miss The Hunters. Looking forward to more from TL Smith. </div><div style="text-align: center;">⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">About the Author</div><div style="text-align: center;">USA Today Best Selling Author T.L.
