She hides behind perfection. He hides behind control. But some obsessions can't stay in the shadows.
Angie Carstens has rules: stay sharp, stay in control, never look back-a perfect mask covering self-destructive habits. But the past has teeth, and hers is starting to bite. Mario Da Luca, fury in a tailored suit, is everything she doesn't want: volatile, possessive, dangerous... and Head of Security at her company. The kind of man who doesn't let go-and doesn't ask permission. Yet he sees her in a way no one else ever has.
Rage barely caged, Mario is haunted by a past soaked in violence. But nothing prepared him for Angie. She stormed into his life with fake smiles and a touch of sass.
And made him want more.
When she runs from her ghosts, he only clings harder until he gets dragged down into hell.
As danger closes in and tension ignites, Angie must face the truth she's spent years avoiding-and the man who could be her end... or her beginning.
