He is sin. She doesn’t care. Diana Steel has it all—a luxurious Denver penthouse, a limitless trust fund, and the job of her dreams at one of the city’s top architecture firms. Housing brooding Dragon Locke isn’t a priority, but when her sister asks, Diana relents. Dragon knows what it means to fight for survival. Abandoned at eight and raised in the system, he’s been hardened by life’s brutal lessons. Addiction nearly destroyed him, and after a disastrous fall during his band’s European tour, he’s clawing his way back. Fresh out of rehab, he’s determined to rebuild on his own terms. Diana’s offer of a place to stay should be the lifeline Dragon needs, but he hates charity, especially from someone like her. Yet when he steps into her world, the undeniable chemistry between them ignites something neither can control. But Dragon is a man scarred by his past, with secrets so dark they threaten to consume him. He’s shared only fragments with his therapist and his closest friend—the rest he’s vowed to take to his grave. As Diana draws closer, she risks getting burned by the firestorm of pain and passion inside him. And Dragon isn’t sure he can let her in without dragging her into the depths of hell.

He’s not looking for salvation. She’s not looking for love. Dragon Locke is a haunted man. Every day is a relentless battle against the demons of his past. A recovering addict, he wears the scars of a history so brutal, he’s convinced it will destroy anyone who dares to get too close. Diana Steel is everything Dragon doesn’t deserve. She’s strong and beautiful, and the harder he falls for her, the more he fights to push her away. She deserves a life untouched by his sin, and he’s sworn he won’t subject her to that. When pieces of his history resurface, dangling the promise of something he lost long ago, Dragon knows he must confront what he’s spent years running from. Diana, freshly wounded by the loss of her own dreams, offers to accompany him. He knows it’s reckless, but he can’t deny her…or the solace she represents. The search spirals into a journey filled with dark secrets. As danger closes in, Dragon must decide if love can truly be his salvation or if, in the end, he will lose everything
