I've run this club for ten years. I've buried enemies, protected brothers, and kept this city in line through sheer force of will. I don't lose. I don't bend. I don't bring women into my world because I know what it costs them.
Then Celeste Beaumont walks into my bar with a court order and those eyes that see straight through everything I've built. Within days, she's found what nobody was supposed to find and gotten under my skin in ways I don't have language for.
She came here to dismantle me. I should have let her leave.
Now someone wants her dead for what she knows, and the only place she's safe is with me, which means she's not really safe at all. I've made a lot of hard choices. Keeping her close is the first one that ever scared me.
I'm not a good man. I've never pretended to be. But I will burn this entire city down before I let someone take her from me.
She just doesn't know yet that I'm one of the things she should be running from.
