Kai lives by his own rules—no commitments, no complications, just ink and security jobs. But when Gigi, his sister’s best friend, needs help, everything changes. She’s off limits, but her haunted eyes and hidden pain pull him in deeper than he ever expected. Torn between desire and loyalty, Kai must decide if he’s willing to break the one rule he swore he’d never break. Can he protect her without destroying them both? Or will crossing that line lead to heartbreak? In this intense romance drama, love isn’t just forbidden—it’s dangerous.
Kai is a standalone for new readers but does fit in the Broken series as book 2.5 between book 2 and book 3. It is recommended to read the series in order to avoid any spoilers.
