Ava

My life has been nothing but pain and suffering.

My father made sure of it.

But I’m a survivor.

A fighter.

And I refuse to let another man take from my body ever again.

Except my stalker has other plans.

He’s ruthless, obsessive, and willing to kill to make me his.

And he won’t stop until I give into what my body craves.

Because in spite of everything, my body does crave him.

But when I discover the truth behind his mask, my world shatters.

And I’m consumed by his darkness.

Duncan

My life has been a series of bad decisions.

All except one.

Her.

The things I’ve done for her, the people I’ve killed, the pain I’ve endured…

I’d do it all again with a smile on my face because she’s mine.

And I’d do anything to keep her safe.

But the people I work for want payment.

And she’s as good as gold.

So I have to take her before they do.

Except time is running out.

And I might already be too late.

"You are mine. And you deserve nothing but the best of everything."

🖤My Thoughts:
This book is good and heartbreaking! The emotional rollercoaster it takes you on ain't for the weak-hearted. I highly suggest checking your TWs before diving in, something i rarely do, so brace yourself.

The plot twists still have me in shock; I'm still trying to process everything.

Dan made a deal with devil to protect his little flower when he was young, at time when he himself needed the same.. sealing his fate in the process. He loved Ava enough to want to shield her even when he was powerless, and he would do anything including killing to make sure she felt even a little bit safe knowing the trauma she'd gone through her.

That devotion..him continuing to protect her from a distance even into adulthood had me crying.

Ava went through horrors no child should ever face, but i admired how grew from it. Fighting her way through life not letting her trauma hold her back. And I love Dan for embracing her and just protecting her without her even knowing. I swear everything that he did for her even though he himself is broken was beautiful🥹.

They're just perfect for each other.
