Ivy It should have been just one night. One insane night where I tossed out inhibitions, my reserved nature... my brain cells. I let myself go with a total stranger. I had no idea who he was. Just that he protected me. Made me feel safe. And I did what any self respecting girl would do after a crazy, mind-blowing night. I waited till he took a shower and snuck the hell out of there. Leo To the outside world, I'm known only as Z. The enforcer. A widower with nothing to lose. An ex-SEAL sworn to keep one protect the D'Angelo's at all costs. I'm not a good man, and I never claimed to be. Protecting her was second nature. Nothing more. Claiming her was just a one-night escape. But she made one mistake ... a cardinal sin. Slipping away on her terms. Not mine. No strings. No commitments. No names? No way. There's just one price for my protection. And it's her.
