I left without a trace the night I turned eighteen, slipping past every guard and disappearing into the night. I didn’t stop to think about the damage I left behind. I didn’t care who suffered for my escape.
Now, I have no choice but to come back.
I owe a debt to the kind of men who don’t ask nicely. The kind who take their payment in blood when money isn’t an option. Home is the only place that might keep me breathing. All I need is to get my hands on something worth more than my existence. But before I can grab anything, he finds me first.
Tommy.
My brother’s most trusted enforcer. My former bodyguard. The man who took the punishment for letting me slip away.
He’s not the quiet, watchful protector I remember. The years have turned him ruthless. Cold. Hungry for something he hasn’t named yet. He says I owe him for what I did. That running away cost him more than I’ll ever understand.
And now, it’s time to settle another debt.
But the way his hands touch me—rough, possessive, desperate—I know revenge isn’t the only thing on his mind.
Tommy doesn’t just want payback.
He wants me.
And this time, he won’t let me slip away.
