A DANGEROUS TALE OF FORBIDDEN LOVE She sits alone in a coffeehouse, and her fearless innocence wrecks me. My longing to ruin her is as painful as she is beautiful. Katie Reed. Math prodigy. Lovely, determined, quite unexpected. Mine. When I find out she lied to me, that an assassin hunts for her father, and she’s in the line of the fire, I order her into my protective custody. Keeping her safe is my job. But there’s no one to protect her from me. She’s my obsession, and the pretty lies on her lips only make me want her more. Katie doesn’t belong in my sinful world. I should let her go, but the craving in my soul won’t allow it. I’ll set my little bird free from her emotional cage and then keep her in one of my own. Two Pretty Lies is a standalone (book 3) in the Hastings Brothers series.
