She is driven and determined but suddenly forced to rely on protection from the last person she ever expected. Klive King is intense guarded and lethal yet the way he quietly watches over her makes every scene between them feel charged with tension fear and want.

The mix of suspense brooding chemistry and emotional depth keeps the story gripping from start to finish. If you love dark romance with high stakes secret identities and a hero who is both terrifying and protective this feels like one of those books that completely pulls you in.
