She was a broken angel that had the light beat right out of her. I was the man responsible for her life, her protector... Rescued by my brother and shoved into my arms I never expected to fall for the fragile woman, with soft eyes, and lips that begged to be kissed. I know what she saw when she looked at me, a ruthless fighter, a man with a broken past, too far gone to be reached, sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness. Still, somehow her light reached me, the innocence inside her called to me and the moment her soul touched mine I was tamed, ensnared in her love. But love comes at a cost, and in our world, you pay with your life. With all the danger surrounding us, I don't know if I can protect her. Not only from myself, but also from a past that refuses to let go. **This is book five in the series but it can be read as a complete standalone. This is a full-length novel.
