About this ebook
She was destined to lead. He was sworn to protect her. Falling in love was never part of the plan.
When demon hunter Scarlett Kingston is nearly killed by a deadly biological weapon, the last person she expects to betray her is Hex Stryker—her bodyguard, her closest friend, and the man she's secretly loved for years. But when Hex vanishes without a trace, leaving behind evidence that points to treason, Scarlett is forced to hunt down the one person she never thought she could lose.
Hex has spent his life guarding Scarlett from every threat except himself. Bound by duty and divided by rank, he knows the future leader of hunters can never belong to a man like him. Yet when dangerous secrets tied to her family's legacy come to light, Hex makes the ultimate sacrifice—becoming a hunted traitor to keep Scarlett safe.
Now, with enemies closing in, Scarlett and Hex must decide what they're willing to risk for the truth... and for each other.
Can they defy their destiny, challenge the laws that keep them apart, and claim a love neither was meant to have? Or will duty demand the ultimate sacrifice?
