Synopsis
Theory Miller has finally started putting herself back together. She survived a violent ex. She survived a heartbreak that nearly finished what that monster started. And now, just as she’s learning how to breathe again, how to live without fear, Targen Jones-Sidorov is back. A year ago, Targen loved her hard, promised her forever… then, disappeared without a word. Now, he’s returned, leaner, colder, and carrying scars that run deeper than the ones on his face. But one thing has not changed: his obsession with Theory. He’s determined she’ll be his woman, his future, his wife. When threats from Theory’s past collide with enemies tied to his family’s bloody legacy, Targen sees only one way to protect her—marry her and give her the protection of the Sidorov name. He puts a ring on her finger, making it clear that the life she thought she was rebuilding alone is no longer just hers. It’s theirs. But Theory is not the same woman he left behind. While Targen demands forever, she demands answers. His promise of love does not erase her feeling of betrayal. If Targen wants to keep the woman he crossed continents to claim, he’ll have to prove that his protection is not just another prison.
