The way Taryn Maddox and I first met wasn’t ideal. I’d almost driven off a bridge.

Not exactly the best first impression.

Her, though? She’s incredible. Stunning and smart, with a soft warmth to her eyes, even when standing over the hospital bed of a degenerate (me).

I’ve never been on the other side of that kind of compassion. Ever.

I knew I couldn’t lose her. Not even during the moments she could see right into me and the incredible pain I’m hiding.

It’s only when a threat from her past resurfaces that I’m forced to evaluate whether protecting my secrets is worth more than her life.

I’d do anything for the woman I’m falling in love with—except lose her.

And if she ever discovers the truth about me, she’ll run.
