I should have stayed away from Toby Kingston. The hot, grumpy billionaire. The older brother of my best friend. The man I crushed on long before I had the right to want him. We were never meant to collide like this. One charged moment. One touch that sinks far too deep. One night when his need turns possessive enough to make me forget every reason I should run. He pulls me in without even trying. His careful hands. His lingering eyes. His heat pressed against mine like a promise he is terrified to make. Then his past comes back hungry. He retreats. Protects. Disappears. He does not understand. I have already fallen for him and his daughter. I know the man beneath the scars, the one who could ruin me beautifully. Now I need to know if he will fight for us… or let the darkness win again.
