Exhausted Me Down Playing with Fire 3 Tired me out like a long journey I followed all your commands Exhausted me to the ground I did everything to satisfy you Austin Conrad has never taken his personal life seriously. As a member of the Navy SEALs, he spends most of his time in perilous and life-threatening situations. To cope with the horrors he witnesses on a daily basis, he shuts off his emotions when he returns home. He's known for being a ladies' man and has no intentions of settling down. Even if he did find a woman who could tolerate him for more than one night, he wouldn't want to burden her with the traumas of his past. So when his best friend and fellow SEAL, Brady Marshall, asks him to keep an eye on his little sister Gwen, Austin agrees without hesitation. He assumes it will be an easy task. After all, he loves nothing more than charming a beautiful woman and then walking away with a smirk on his face. But Austin never expects that Gwen and her young daughter will be the ones to get under his skin. Gwen Stratford knows all too well what it's like to live in a nightmare. After escaping from her abusive husband in the middle of the night with her daughter, she has worked hard to rebuild her life and forget about the man who tried to break her. Growing up under the strict control of her parents and then marrying a man who ruled their marriage with violence, Gwen is finally able to breathe and make her own choices. But when strange and frightening things start happening to her and her daughter, she realizes that you can never truly escape your past - it always finds a way to catch up with you. As she struggles to maintain her newfound independence, she knows she can't protect herself and her child alone. She'll have to rely on the one man who drives her crazy. Can Gwen trust a man who sees life as a joke, or will he just be another person who wears her down?
