He couldn’t get to me before those two thugs grabbed me, but luckily, he was able to chase them off. It was just supposed to be one night. No love. No feelings. And certainly no regrets. Six weeks later, I found myself staring at a positive pregnancy test.

He caught me spying on my enemies and could've had me killed. Instead, he says he wants to help. To give me a future, freedom, and most of all, revenge. I want that, too. I want everything he has to give…even though I know he’s hiding something.

I was stolen. Hidden. Trapped in a hell beyond salvation. Until him. Luca. The man who changed everything with his fierce loyalty and vow of protection. I shouldn't trust him.

He protected me from danger and became my biggest threat. He's my defender. My savior. A brutally determined man with a cocky smirk and an equally cocky attitude. Broad. Strong. Focused. He seduces me with his flirtation. Warms me with his care. But he's hiding something. There are ulterior motives beyond his concern for my security. A thirst for more than my safekeeping.
