She survived the monsters who broke her. She never expected to fall for the one hiding in the dark.
I thought the worst was behind me.
The screams. The betrayal. The night my world was ripped apart and nothing felt safe again.
But scars don’t fade just because the bruises do, and shadows have a way of following you home.
That’s when he appears—
a man in a mask.
A predator in the dark.
A soldier who kills without hesitation… but watches me like I’m the only thing he’ll never let break.
He is danger wrapped in silence, violence carved into every scarred line of his body.
And yet, when his hands touch me, I feel safe for the first time in years.
But protection always comes with a price.
And falling for a man who was never meant to be mine could cost me more than my heart—
it could cost me my life.
