She was my wounded angel. My obsession. Now, she is the reason my heart beats. I took one look at the golden-haired goddess with pain in her eyes and knew I had to have her. I let myself become the man she needed. I know she thinks I'm harmless—a friend offering to help a damsel in distress. She has no idea how wrong she is. I may look like safety to her, but it’s all a lie. On the inside, I’m the man who will tear men apart piece by piece to keep them away from her. I’m the man who will avenge every wrong she has ever endured. Because she belongs to me. If she knew the man I truly was, my sweet, innocent Angel would be terrified. There’s so much blood on my hands that they will never be clean. So, I do what I must to hide who I am. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. I will even teach her to stand proudly by my side and demand her own revenge. The one thing I can’t do? Is let her go. Deadly Protector is book 4 of the Kingdom of Sin Series.
