As a mafia soldier, I was no stranger to pain. I took as much as I gave and enjoyed every minute of it. Now, after an accident left me damaged and broken, my every movement was met with intolerable agony. I had nothing to live for. Until her.Lyndsey. Who was not only terrified of me and my mafia life, but as a single mother and my physical therapist, was off limits. She intrigued me and I became obsessed, until all I could focus on was her. The tears she cried. Her fears and the scars that she tried to hide. The threat looming over her and her daughter's heads. While she healed my body, she stole my heart, and something in me shifted. When her dark past resurfaced, I knew I would do anything in my power to keep it from taking her away.

He'd do anything to save her, even if she's the biggest threat to herself. When I first met Kelly O'Connor, she was on a boat bound for some unknown hell overseas. While my team and I saved her, it wasn't enough. I promised I'd take care of her to atone for my mistakes, but I failed her. She'd already suffered more than anyone should, and her brokenness seeped into me. She broke me, and I had to walk away. But my heart beat for her and her alone, and staying away killed me. When she disappeared again and I was asked to find her, I couldn't say no. The threat may have been different, but now my heart was on the line. I would do anything to save her, even if I had to save her from herself.

What would you do for a second chance?When my itch for adventure brought me to Sin City, I never expected to fall in love and get married. But they say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, so I shouldn't have been surprised when my new wife disappeared before the ink dried on our marriage certificate.After years of searching for her, I finally gave up, only to walk into work one morning and find she was our new admin. Joss Monroe is everything I remembered—kind, funny, gorgeous as hell. But the hurt in my heart was still so strong, I wasn't sure I could ever forgive her. Time in her presence proved my feelings for her hadn't changed. As the truth about why she stayed away became clear, I question how fate could be so cruel.Because it wasn't just her past that was trying to keep us apart. While I'd do anything to be with her, death was just around the corner, and that was one fight I wasn't sure I could win.
