Ian Black is a fence.  He procures goods and sells them.  He uses unpleasant means to collect money owed to him.  He’s not a pleasant man.  So when he helps a woman in distress, he’s as surprised as she is that he saves her life not only once, but repeatedly.

Men are after Mirabai.  Men not to be tangled with.  Ian can’t leave her at their mercy. Finding himself sucked deeper and deeper into an unbelievable world, Ian digs deep inside and finds a part of him Mirabai knew lay inside, even when he doubted himself.

Measure of a Man is about an unconventional hero and what happens when one good deed turns your entire world upside down.  Ian is an antihero.  A man you have no sympathy for at all. Throughout the book he’ll surprise you as completely as he did me.  This is part of a series and it’s better to read this book before the rest.
