A steamy, protective Daddy romance with romantic suspense, a dangerous second chance, and a possessive hero who will burn the world for his girl. Eight years ago, the General framed him and stole his freedom. Now Jaxon is out, harder, darker, and more possessive than ever. When the same man who destroyed his life sets his sights on Tazzy—the sweet, fiery woman who waited for him—Jaxon will stop at nothing to keep her safe. She’s his Darkling. His second chance. His to protect, cherish… and claim. But the General doesn’t play fair. He’s already proven he can get close enough to touch her. This time, Jaxon won’t lose what’s his. Even if it means becoming the monster they both fear.
