She’s the only one who makes him feel. He’s the last man she should trust.
Quentin Darcy hides his demons behind a perfect smile. Charm, good looks, and a reputation as the smoothest operator around—he wears them like armor. But one tough-talking bartender has always seen right through him. Harlowe Tate. Straight shooter. Big heart. Bad at staying out of trouble. And trouble’s exactly what finds her when her ex comes back looking for blood.
Quentin knows commitment isn’t in his DNA. He’s built walls no one’s ever broken through. But Lowey? She’s never been just anyone. And now, protecting her might cost him everything he’s tried so hard to bury. Because in their world, loyalty cuts deep, revenge runs darker, and some battles can’t be won without shedding a little blood.
She’s risking her life. He’s risking his soul. And neither of them is ready for the fallout.
