A novel by Brittany Ann
He saved her. He lost her. He hunted her. He avenged her. Fate intervened. Now, she has to save him.
Ash Doss, former Navy SEAL turned bounty hunter, was the mission coordinator at Red Snake Investigations. He never missed a mark, never failed a client, never lost anyone. But it all came crashing down a few years ago when he went to collect payment after a job. Who he found inside the client’s mansion was the last person he’d expected to see in this lifetime.
A myth, a fragment from a fairy tale his grandmother told him as a child.
His soulmate.
Angel Howell, a neurodivergent pastry chef on the run from her past, came to Astoria to begin again. Set on being happy here, her newfound freedom gave her a glimmer of hope at having the life she’d always wanted. Her dreams were ready to be chased again. But that hope flickered when she walked into the town’s bookshop, finding the man who rescued her from hell sitting at the espresso bar. A man who had plagued her dreams endlessly.
In a panicked attempt to keep them both safe, she set a boundary, one that sent him away.
Now, he's back and the pull between them is unavoidable.
When a body washes up on shore at the edge of town, he vows to never lose her again, but the truth of their pasts comes with a devastating price...
