Two broken souls. One impossible choice.
Jake
I was never meant to be the good guy. Prison didn't change me. It just reminded me how deep I'm in. My grandmother was the only person who believed I could be more, and I swore I'd try for her.
But when an old debt calls, I'm forced to pick up a job I don't want:
Find the girl.
End her.
Walk away.
Simple.
Until Ava turns out to be anything but simple. She's scared, smart, and hiding secrets that could destroy us both. And the worst part? I can't bring myself to let her go.
Ava
I thought I'd escaped the worst night of my life. I've kept my head down and tried to forget the blood in my past. But trouble has a way of finding me.
Now there's a man in my bar with a deadly past of his own and eyes that see too much.
I should run.
Instead, I'm falling.
He was sent to kill me.
But he might be the only one who can save me.
When love collides with danger, will they risk everything to stay together... or lose everything trying?
