She doesn’t remember the boy who spared her. He’s never forgotten her.
Rowan Cross was ordered to leave no witnesses.
He left one.
Leah Matthews was only twelve when she watched her father die. She remembers the blood. The gunshots. The boy who found her hiding in a closet and lowered his weapon instead of pulling the trigger.
Rowan never forgot her.
Twelve years later, Leah walks back into his life on the arm of the one man who should never have found her.
Ethan.
Leah thinks she’s finally found someone she can trust. She has no idea the men surrounding her are tied to the night that shattered her childhood.
Rowan knows he should stay away.
Instead, every glance pulls him closer. Every secret becomes harder to keep. And when Ethan’s obsession with Leah takes a darker turn, Rowan is forced to choose between the life he’s built and the woman he was never supposed to save.
This time, keeping Leah alive might cost him everything.
