She was never supposed to be his. But the moment she broke… he was the one who caught her.
Katie thought she knew what love was—soft apologies, whispered promises, and the hope that the man she fell for would finally stay. But one brutal night shatters that illusion, leaving her with bruises and betrayal. She should walk away. She should run. She just never expected someone to be waiting on the other side.
Dark, the bassist of August Bleeding, has always lived loud—charismatic, reckless, the band’s notorious playboy with a grin that never promises anything real. But the moment he sees Katie broken and trembling, something in him snaps. Some lines aren’t meant to be crossed… and what was done to her is something he won’t forgive. He offers her a choice, a way out, a place to land. No strings. No pressure. Just safety. But Dark doesn’t do anything halfway, and the longer Katie is in his world, the more dangerous the truth becomes: the man who saved her has already decided she and her unborn baby are his to protect.
