She’s the risk he can’t resist, but loving her could cost them everything.

Daryl

Nothing could have prepared me for Trish. From the moment I saw her, she stole my breath with her natural beauty and quiet warmth, pulling me in like gravity. I keep telling myself she’s off-limits, that I have to stay focused. But I can’t seem to stay away. Her emerald eyes, killer smile, and irresistible curves are impossible to ignore, even when I know getting close could put us both in serious danger. I’ve got a job to do, and I can’t afford any mistakes—especially not one that leads me straight to her.

Trish

The instant Daryl walked into the diner, he awakened something in me I thought was gone forever. His tall, lean frame and icy blue eyes spark desires I haven’t felt in years, and his intense gaze promises things I can barely imagine. But when I uncover the truth about why he’s here, my world shatters. Giving my heart to a man like him could destroy me… yet my heart doesn’t seem to care.
