  Atlas knows that his reaction to Lily isn’t normal. The lust he feels is too strong, too consuming, but she calls to the primitive darkness within Atlas that he’s tried to hide from the rest of the world. He’s going to need that darkness because a killer is hunting him…and Lily. A predator who is intent on taking out the children of serial killers. Innocence and guilt doesn’t matter. Only survival does. The killer has uncovered Lily’s research, and he’s using it to track his prey. As each day passes, he’s also growing increasingly obsessed with Lily.

  * * *

  Being prey wasn’t on her agenda.

  * * *

  Lily’s mother is the most infamous female serial killer of modern times, and her mother passed on more than a few of her dangerous traits to Lily. Lily has no intention of being some helpless victim, but she will trap the killer who is on her trail. She’ll also stick close to Atlas because she knows he holds plenty of secrets. Fair enough. She’s got secrets, too. Atlas stirs a part of her that she has tried to fight her entire life. Wild, forbidden, and dangerous, he is a lover she can’t resist. He may just be the perfect partner for her…unless, of course, she turns out to be dead wrong about him.

  * * *

  Because some people carry darkness, some people carry sins…and there are some monsters that you never see coming, not until it’s far too late.

  Author’s Note

  Thank you so very much for reading WHEN HE GUARDS. I’ve had the best time writing the “Protector and Defender Romance” series, and I so hope that you’ve enjoyed the books. I love writing about strong, determined heroes—and pairing them up with equally strong and determined heroines! Agnes was definitely a fierce heroine. She’d been through darkness, and it was time for both her and Cass to step into the light.
