Bella thought she could escape her past. For a while, she did. She even found happiness and the chance for a future she never thought possible. Until one day when it was all taken away in an instant, forcing her to leave behind the man she loved just to survive. Now her nightmare is finally over and she needs to reclaim everything she lost. Except she doesnât know whether heâll take her back. And sheâs about to discover that the past wonât let her go so easily.
Now itâs coming after them both.
Professional bodyguard Creedâs whole world caved in the day Bella left without explanation. Now, over a year later sheâs back without warning, and what she tells him leaves him reeling. Sheâs been through a hell far worse than heâd ever imagined, but one thing is certain. He will love her until he draws his last breathâand wonât let anything or anyone take her away from him ever again. But when deadly forces from her past life come for her, they find themselves in a fight for survival unlike anything theyâve faced before. And the only way out is to make an impossible choice that could tear them apart forever.
