Description

Payton has spent the last ten years trying to survive.

After running away from home at seventeen, life has been anything but easy. She keeps her head down, works hard, and does everything she can to stay invisible. No trouble. No attention. Just survival.

Until one night everything changes.

When a dangerous stranger walks through her open patio door and into her apartment like he belongs there, Payton should be terrified. Instead, she’s…curious.

Because there’s something about him she can’t ignore.

Nero has never pretended to be a good man. The first life he took changed everything, setting him on a path that led him to build a powerful criminal organization known as The Alliance. Violence, power, and control are the only things he knows.

But the moment he steps into Payton’s life, something shifts.

He should leave. Walk away before she gets caught in his dangerous world.

Instead, he stays.

And when enemies threaten her safety, Nero makes one thing very clear:

He will destroy anyone who tries to hurt what belongs to him.

Because Payton may not realize it yet—

But she’s his.
