Dr. Paxton Renolds I believe in love at first sight. Maybe it was from the romance novels I read as a kid. The same ones my brother picked on me for reading. Years later, they come to me for romance advice. It seems those books paid off… Until I met Mia Clark. She has steel enforced concrete walls around her heart. And secrets that would rival the CIA. When she shows up at my Club bleeding, I know I’ll stop at nothing to protect her. Mia I was in foster care when I made the promise. Barely old enough to know what I agreed to. Except I never back away from a commitment. I figured the call would never come. Instead, it came as a text. Three words: I need you. The scene I walked into was worse than I could imagine. Now I’m thrown into a world I thought I left behind. It’s even more challenging with the bullet wound. And a kid. Only one person came to mind when I needed help. His green eyes haunted me at night. Even if I promised myself, I wouldn’t fall for them. I’ll never give my heart away… I just hope those aren’t my famous last words.
