My job is simple: extract Lucy Taylor from the clutches of her twisted family and bring her under our protection. But Lucy isn't what I expected. She's cautious but fierce in protecting her son. She doesn't trust me yet, but she will. Lucy Taylor and her son are mine. And I protect what's mine, even when the secrets that are about to come to light make her question everything.

I have to make a choice—run from the man who claims I’m his, or trust him to keep us safe?
