Synopsis
Killing is the only thing I’ve ever done right. Or at least, that’s what I’ve always believed. Until I destroyed the one thing I had going for me with the only woman I’ve ever loved. She was everything. And I gave her nothing but reasons to walk away. I let her go when I should’ve fought for her. For us. For the son that I wasn’t there to raise. Now that she’s back, I’m determined to show her that I can do that for her. So, we make a deal. A marriage of protection, convenience, necessity—call it what you want. I would’ve said yes for any reason, but this time, I won’t waste the second chance I’ve been handed. I’m not the man she remembers. But I’ll do anything to become the man she deserves. One brutal promise at a time.
