PaytonI've been surviving since I was seventeen- a decade of scraping by, staying hidden, doing whatever it takes to keep my head down and my name forgotten. I've built a life out of nothing. Quiet. Controlled. Safe.Until a stranger walks straight through my unlocked patio door like he owns the place. Like he owns me.I should've screamed. Should've run. But I didn't. Because something in his eyes calls to the broken pieces in mine.Now I'm wondering if surrendering to him might be the first real choice I've ever made.NeroThe day I took my first life, I accepted what I was-cold, ruthless, and never meant for peace. I built The Alliance from blood and shadow, carved my place in a world that doesn't forgive weakness.And I've never looked back. Until her.One open door. One stolen moment. And suddenly, walking away isn't an option. Payton doesn't know it yet, but she's mine.And when danger comes knocking, it'll learn the hard way-I don't just protect what's mine. I destroy for it.

And definitely someone I should not be making eye contact with...or thinking inappropriate thoughts about. But hey, it's not like I'll ever see any of them again. At least, that was the idea.Until I stop at the cheater's apartment to grab my car keys. Quick in, quick out. What I didn't plan on?Witnessing a murder.Being taken hostage.And waking up next to a crime lord calling me wife.Seriously-what the hell kind of bingo card is this?
