 Now he’s back — holding a gun and calling himself my bodyguard.

Silas Raveen was my father’s deadliest weapon.

 Cold. Precise. Untouchable.

 I loved him anyway.

Three years ago, he disappeared the same night my mother was murdered.

 Now I’m engaged to a man I don’t love, trapped in a family falling apart.

He won’t say why I’m being hunted.

 He won’t talk about the past.

 But every time we’re alone, the air cracks — with tension, with questions, with the kiss we never got to finish.

I hate him for leaving.

 I hate him more for still making my heart race.

 And I hate that I’m starting to trust him again.

Because if there’s one thing I know for sure…

 The man who saved my life is the same man who destroyed it.
