When Greyson Archer tosses a twenty on the stage of a strip club, the last thing he expects to see are the haunted
green eyes staring back at him. Finley should be home raising her infant daughter and baking cookies, not tucking singles into her G-string and giving lap dances.
Greyson can't deny that he'd like his own private show, but there's not a chance in hell of that happening. The last time the former Navy SEAL saw her she was dressed in black, holding a folded flag and sobbing that it was all his fault... and he agreed with every single word. He couldn't do anything to help her then, but he can now.
Finley deserves better than this dingy club, and when an obsessed customer crosses the line, Greyson leads the rescue and will do whatever it takes to make amends for their broken past.
He never expected to want to settle down, but with Finley, everything is different. For the first time ever, he can breathe. But Greyson will have to fight for what he wants in order to keep the woman with the green eyes he's dreamed about so often.
Slow & Steady is book 2 in the Alphas Undone series, but can be read as a standalone novel, as it features a new couple.

EXCERPT:
It was nine o’clock on a Saturday night and I was totally out of my fucking element. A bottle of red wine tucked under one arm. A bouquet of wild flowers in the other. A condom tucked into my wallet, just in case. I was in foreign territory, and my entire body knew it – tense shoulders, my heart beating like a drum, and arousal barely contained beneath the surface.
Finley was standing at the doorway, watching me with a confused expression.
She looked gorgeous, makeup free, pink-painted toes, hair mussed and loose. Little cotton pajama shorts and a tank top that hugged her lush breasts.
“Maple’s not here.” She said the words, but she knew as well as I did I wasn’t here for Maple.
“I know that.” My voice was sure and confident.
“Then why are you … oh.” Finley shifted her weight, her eyes dropping from mine as she saw the wine and flowers. She could read it all, plain as day. I knew she could see my intentions, my uncertainty, and underneath it all, my desire. Maybe it was the desire to fix everything I’d broken, or maybe it was just my desire for her as a man desires a woman.
Normally when I felt that primal urge for sex, I headed to West’s bar. I’d pick out a woman for the night. Share a few drinks with her, a few laughs. Later, we’d head back to my place and fuck until dawn. And that was it. I’d be set for a few months.
This … with the courting and the nerves … it was nothing like my standard operating procedure.
I’d never felt so stripped bare and vulnerable. Never put myself out there so completely with a woman before. But then again, Finley was unlike any woman I'd ever met.
And she was still just standing there. “Can I come inside?” I asked, heart in my throat.
She didn't say anything. But she opened the door wider.
With Nolan’s words ringing in my ears, I stepped over the threshold, sure that whatever happened tonight had the power to heal us both.
REVIEW!
Another amazing book in the Alpha's Undone series. If you enjoyed Bait & Switch then you will love this book. I was in tears at the end of this book. Such a touching story.
So this book follows Greyson, which you meet in Bait & Switch, and Finlay. Finlay hates Greyson since she believes he is the reason her husband died at war and never came back to her and their daughter. Greyson finds out that she is struggling to make ends meet and finds ways to place himself in their lives. Both begin to have feelings for each other but Finlay refuses to give in to them. When Finlay and her daughter are kidnapped can Greyson find them? Will Finlay finally give into what she wants? Will they be happy together?
OMG!!! The best characters ever. I couldn't stop reading because the characters pulled me in so well. Everything about this book was perfect. I loved the story line. The flow and pace were amazing. I enjoy the authors writing style. I felt like I was one of the characters the entire time.
I can't wait to see what lies in store for the rest of the Alpha's in this series because the books seriously get better. When you get to the end of this book be sure to have your kleenex ready because you will need them for the closing scene. It is a very touching HEA. I look forward to what Kendall has in store for us next. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.
