A single mother with a past she can't outrun.
A dangerous man who was never supposed to care.
A love that could destroy them both.
Zahara's only goal is survival. Keep her head down. Protect her son. Stay invisible. But when violence crashes into her carefully rebuilt life, she learns the hard way that survival sometimes looks like a monster in the doorway—one with blue eyes, bloody knuckles, and a vow on his lips.
Prime Banks. Quiet. Lethal. Controlled. And the last man she should ever trust.
But Prime doesn't give her a choice.
He breaks into her apartment with a message from her past. Inserts himself into her life. Protects her son like he's his own. And then he makes one thing clear:
"You're mine to protect. Whether you want me or not."
Zahara needs distance. Prime gives her obsession. She needs safety. He gives her power. She needs to keep her secrets buried. Prime? He's the one man capable of digging them up.
The deeper they fall, the more dangerous their world becomes—crime family politics, old enemies, and the shadows of both their pasts closing in.
And when the truth Zahara's been hiding finally comes out… Prime may become the very threat she feared most—or the only man able to save her.
An explosive, addictive, high-heat urban romantic suspense that will leave you breathless from page one.
