One Rule

Danger is never hidden in the shadows. It haunts in the daylight.

I’ve watched her grow up since we were teenagers. This gorgeous little doll—my obsession—even if a man like me has never had any business desiring something so pure. Not that it stops me; I’m her brother’s best friend with a past marked by death and a future that promises to bathe the streets of Miami with the blood of her enemies.

In her name. As a future wedding gift.

Because someone was stupid enough to hurt those she loves. And while she gets closer to the answers she seeks, to finding her father’s killer, I indulge her while stalking her every move. Let her dig and tempt danger while my finger’s always on the trigger:

My angel hunts within the darkness I control while I execute. She has a hold on me no amount of time can break.
