About this book

Vaughn Decker is a man defined by his scars, both physical and emotional. A hardened operative, he views his assignment to protect Hope—the daughter of a ruthless cartel boss—as a strictly temporary mission. His goal is simple: keep her alive long enough to dismantle her father’s criminal empire. However, as the lines between duty and desire blur, Vaughn finds himself succumbing to a connection he never anticipated. Hope possesses a rare, gentle insight, seeing past his violent exterior to the man worth saving underneath. Her unconditional presence, however, triggers his deepest fears, as he knows that falling for her gives her the ultimate power to destroy him. As the cartel tightens its grip and the threat of violence escalates, the pair finds themselves trapped in a deadly war. With bodies piling up and the stakes higher than ever, Vaughn must reconcile his role as a lethal protector with the vulnerability of being in love. He is no longer just fighting a war; he is fighting to keep his light from being extinguished by the shadows of his past. This intense, high-stakes romance explores the journey of two broken souls finding salvation in one another amidst the chaos of a violent world.
