Shattered. Broken beyond repair.
I'm the shell of the woman I used to be.
The deeper I fall from reality, the worse things get.
Only there's one person who refuses to let me derail.
Romero Pierce.
Calloused. Sinister. Lethal.
He's my father's second in command, and so goddamn handsome it's disgusting.
Assigned the duty of being my babysitter, aka personal bodyguard, he thinks he can protect me, but I don't want his protection.
What I want is security, safety, freedom.
Everything changes when I choose to leave and find myself in the very town where my father grew up. Trying to heal is hard enough but it's nearly impossible with icy Romero watching my every move.
Overtime he starts to make me feel things I thought I'd never feel again, reminding me I'm not broken, but in my journey to heal I also realize I'm helping him heal as well. It doesn't take long to discover Romero has deep, ugly secrets he's trying to keep, but nothing can remain a secret forever.
When the truth's revealed will the man I consider my enemy become the only man who can save me?
