Tasked with protecting Mia Casteel, he’s drawn to her fiery spirit despite his duty. Her father’s secrets and his growing obsession create a conflict between duty and desire. As Mia pushes his boundaries, he struggles to keep his promise to keep her safe—even from himself. What will he choose?
“You already said that.” I get on one knee in front of her, my hands on her knees. Is she still in shock? “They’re calling it off. They are, not us!” She throws her arms around my neck, squeezing tight before pressing her face against my neck. “They don’t want their stupid family name dragged…
She clenches tighter for an instant, then lets go, hips hitting the mattress the same instant she soaks my hand with her juice. I lap it up, savoring every drop. Greedy for her. Then I look up over the length of her body, at her heaving tits and the nipples that are so hard in…
I’d feel sorry for him if he hadn’t made the mistake of bringing Mia into it. That, I can’t forgive. When I bring the gun across his face and split the skin over his cheekbone, I feel no remorse. His head snaps to one side, and he staggers backward, his body reacting to the force…
He’s fighting as hard as he can not to shout-though the low, even, flat delivery he went with is even scarier. It makes my skin crawl. “Sir, you know-“ “Don’t call me that when you just got done saying you want my daughter.” He shoots up off the desk and turns to me. I’m tired…

“And then she wanted me to call this stranger Daddy. Can you imagine that? I already have a father. I don’t need another one.” No, but you’ll take his money, right? I’m not suicidal-I wouldn’t dream of saying that out loud. But it’s the truth. “Zeke robbed me of years of my life that I…
You’re in love with him, and he probably thinks he has feelings for you. Fucking sick.” I try to scramble away from him when he lunges, but he’s too quick. And too strong-he wasn’t scrawny, to begin with, but he’s bulked up a little since we first met. I didn’t notice. Even if I did,…
I’m coming. Chapter 32: Mia 32 MIA “Y ou didn’t even think to wonder why I was able to get to you as fast as I did, did you?” Dean laughs at his own question before I have the chance to answer. “Of course, you didn’t. I was waiting in a hotel ten minutes from…
“Tell yourself whatever you need to do,” he snarls. “It doesn’t matter anyway. By the time this is finished, you won’t have to worry about anything. You or him.” Now I wish I had let him drift off the road. I wish we had crashed into one of the concrete supports whizzing past on my…
I take the stairs to the basement, where the servers are located. I’ve never gotten well acquainted with Chris, one of the guys who keeps everything running smoothly, but we’re about to spend some time together. As it turns out, he’s already on the job. “They called me from the guardhouse,” he barks when I…
