Quote:Everything I am is built on discipline, distance, and rules carved in stone. Woman never last. Family always disappoints. It's why I focus on the one thing I can that never fails... my private security company.
That is. until she storms onto my jet. All attitude, secrets, and eyes that hide more pain than she'll ever admit. But I'm not fooled. I see her. The pain she buries behind sarcasm and stubbornness. I recognize it because that same ache lives in me.
One kiss unravels me. I run, pretending I'm still in control, but deep down I know the truth-that kiss rewrote my entire future.
But when I stumble upon a secret that affects her life, rage consumes me. Protecting her feels less like a choice and more like destiny. The truth-Ingrid Lennox is mine. Heaven help anyone foolish enough to get in my way.
Now I have an uphill battle to convince her I'm worth the fall. Good thing I've never backed down from a challenge.
