Lila
For the first time in years, my life isn’t a complete disaster. I have a job I love, an apartment of my own, and friends who show up. There’s just one thing missing.
Marcus Andersson. The impossibly brilliant, devastatingly handsome Creative Director who turns my brain to mush with a single glance.
Smart, successful and nearly twenty years older than me, Marcus is everything I know I can’t have.
I never thought I’d have the courage to cross that line – until one drunk kiss at a work event changes everything.
Marcus
I’ve spent two years telling myself all the reasons I should keep my distance from her. Too young. Too innocent. My colleague. But I’ve led the nation’s most successful marketing campaigns with less conviction than I feel for Lila.
So when she kisses me – wild, untamed and unexpected – all my carefully constructed excuses crumble.
Our first date should have been perfect.
Instead, a car speeds away, leaving a man dead.
And when Lila becomes a target, I know one truth with burning clarity:
I will destroy anyone who tries to harm her.
No matter the cost.
