And a loyal pain in the ass to anyone I consider family.
Why? As a teenager I suffered a tragic loss-my baby sister, Michelle, passed away. Since those painful days, I’ve grown into a man that doesn’t let injustice against women or children stand. I’m known to those of my community and club as the ‘Defender of Women,” and I am. I’ll kill anyone who harms a woman or child, no questions asked.
Except I’m not prepared for her.
Her brother trusted me to protect her, but she makes me feel.
And feelings are dangerous for me. I’ve had my heart locked down since Michelle died and everything about her tempts me. Tempts me to lose my control and to open my heart to her. Tomy Charlie.
But I can’t. Charlie’s too risky. She’s a woman with too many secrets, and the Sinners have too much on our hands, with an enemy continuing to stalk us.
Then there’s my fear of loss. It’s insidious and will lead me down a dark path of self-discovery, re-awakening, and healing. A path where I, the defender of women, will become someone I don’t recognize. I become a man who betrays the fragile trust of the woman who owns my heart. In the process, I wound Charlie deeply.
My actions drive her out of the safety of the Sinners and into the path of her worst nightmare.
Now it’s up to me. I must face my fears before Charlie is gone from my life forever…
