She’s my partner’s daughter. Too young for me. Off-limits in every possible way.
Ten years ago I let the world bury my name to smoke out a leak. Tonight Isla Ashford is in someone’s crosshairs—and the only way to keep her breathing is to marry her.
On paper, it’s nothing but protection. A calculated shield.
Except nothing about her feels simple anymore. She’s heat and sharp edges and a heartbeat I can’t ignore. The longer we disappear into safe houses and shadow routes, the harder it is to pretend I’m not breaking the rules I made to keep us both alive.
She thinks I’m the villain. Maybe I am. But I’ll scorch every trail and every cover before I let them take her.
