She had walked away. Leaving him when he needed her the most. Deserting him on the night he had planned to propose.
Given the way his life turned out perhaps it had been for the best. Perhaps it had been good that she wasn’t drawn into the spiral of darkness and corruption he had been forced to embrace in the name of love.
But just when he thought his past was finally behind him, Oliva returns on the crest of trouble, once more weaving herself into his life and penetrating the defences he spent years perfecting.
With so much at stake he can’t afford to love her, can’t afford to crack open the vault of emotion he sealed shut all those years ago when he was forced to sell his soul one shred at a time. Especially not now, when the life of someone he sacrificed everything to protect hangs in the balance.
The past hasn’t finished with him yet, and payment is due.
Genre: Romance
