But no matter how far she pushes me away, I can’t stop wanting her. Not after everything I lost. Not after everything I destroyed. I MUST PROTECT HER. I despise myself for breaking the woman I vowed to protect until my past comes crashing back. My former mistress is stalking my family, and the line between guilt and danger snaps.
