I've spent my whole life standing between other people and the things that want to hurt them. It's a job. You take the contract, you keep the client breathing, you walk away.
Then I met Evelyn Cross.
She doesn't think she needs a man like me — a woman who built an empire from nothing, all cool control and sharp green eyes that haven't slept in weeks. She thinks she's just another client. She thinks I do what I do because it's what I'm paid for.
She's wrong.
The second I pulled her out of the danger she'd been pretending wasn't real, something in me went quiet and certain and mine. She's keeping secrets — I can feel the weight of them every time she looks away — and I don't care. There's no secret big enough to make me let go.
She's afraid I'm the dangerous one.
She's right about that.
But every ounce of that danger belongs to her now. Whoever's coming for her will have to come through me first.
I don't make promises I can't keep.
And I'm promising her forever.
