He used to take lives. Now, he's vowed to save mine. A man can be dangerous. Especially the man you love. When I escaped my ex, I had to leave everything behind. At least I’m still alive. I don’t want to trust anyone again... Especially a man who’s even more dangerous than my ex. Strong, fierce, and protective, Chris fears nothing. But when I look into his eyes, I don’t see a merciless beast. Instead, I see a loving father, a sincere philanthropist, and a kindred spirit. In fact, he’s hiding secrets that are even darker than my own. I should run. But when he asks me to be a nanny for his daughter, I move into his home…and into his bed. This game we’re playing is dangerous, so why do I feel so safe in his arms? His hands may be stained with blood, but he’s gentle when he touches me. It’s almost enough to make me forget my past. But I can’t. Our arrangement is only temporary. One day, this beautiful illusion of a perfect life will shatter. And when it does, I can’t let anyone else get hurt. Especially the little girl I love as if she were my own… And the man who would foolishly trade his life for mine.
