Clover is an orphan and has led a tough and chaotic life. No stability. No money. No friends. He trusts no one.
His already miserable life takes a nosedive when he ends up in the hands of a human trafficking gang. Someone has placed a request for a young albino man, and Clover is to become the property of a mysterious buyer who will stop at nothing to satisfy their depraved desire. Clover’s fate seems sealed until four bounty hunters appear to take out his captors and accidentally save him.
The four mercenaries want to move on, but when Clover pleads for protection, they offer it to him at a price. In the beginning, the arrangement is all kinds of shady, but as he gets to know the four men who’ve taken him on a wild ride, his developing feelings might become as dangerous as the elusive buyer.
But can a relationship with four such different men even work? Men who kill for a living? Men so full of contradictions?
Tank. The massive ex-soldier eager to be Clover’s Daddy.
Pyro. Wild, tattooed, with a filthy mouth and an itch for violence.
Boar. Ginger, bearded, a big teddy bear who can turn into a grizzly.
Drake. Dark and dangerous, with a tongue as sharp as his knives.
Can these men provide him with the love and security he craves? Or has Clover made the worst mistake of his life?

Now for a first, I really wasn't sure of one of the MC's, in this case Clover. There wasn't anything specific, but something about him really didn't sit right with me, and I didn't like him from the beginning. Now Clover has not had an easy life, and was then thrust into the human trafficking ring, from where he is saved by four bounty hunters.
Now the bounty hunters I loved from meeting them, they all seemed so different, but they are a family, even if not by blood. The four men - Tank, Pyro, Boar and Drake all look out for each other, and will always be there for each other - or at least they would until they rescued someone from the human trafficking ring.
Being albino means that Clover can not be hidden, as he stands out. Tank is strangely drawn to Clover from the beginning, although the other three are not so sure of him. He pleads with them to protect him, and reluctantly they agree. At this point, Clover is not always honest with them, and he also seems to try and hold in his feelings.
The more time they spend together, the bigger the bond begins to build between Clover, Tank, Pyro and Boar. However, Drake is still very suspicious of Clover, and it seems that nothing will change his mind, until he then sees Clover react to something, and then the walls come tumbling down.
They still have a bigger problem, and that Clover is still not safe, as someone still wants him, so the group decide that they must do something to make him safe, but will this put him in more danger?
I will say that it took me a little while to read this book, but once I got to the last third of the book, I could not put it down, as I just needed to know what was going to happen, and it was not what I expected. I will be looking out for the second book in the series though, as I also need to know what happens next.
