When my brother orders me to kill Thora Whitlock, there’s no hesitation. Murder comes easy when you feel nothing.
Thora is supposed to be nothing. The enemy’s daughter. A woman easily erased.
So I follow her. Study her. Uncover all her secrets.
What I don’t expect is to speak to her. Or watch my terrifying dog roll onto his back the second she touches him.
That should’ve been my first warning. The second comes when I find her crying outside a bar and do something I’ve never done before.
Bring my target home.
Thora is everything I don’t understand. Gentle. Stubborn. Too brave for her own good.
And the more I touch her, the more I realize she’s the only one who has ever made me feel anything.
But wanting her is dangerous. Keeping her is worse.
And when she’s taken from me, I become the one thing I was never meant to be. Her savior.
