Broken Trust (Broken #1)

Im what some people call the bogeyman. Most people have the good sense to be afraid of me. Unfortunately, my best friends little sister is NOT most people. Shes not afraid of me at all. But she should be. She doesnt know the secrets Im hiding. Look, Lucia Demarco is a handful. Shes stubborn, gorgeous, a magnet for trouble, and sets my blood on fire. Ignore that last part. I cant have her. I promised my best friend on his deathbed that Id always take care of her. And I havenever you mind about the thoughts that plague me at night The point is, shes been poking her head where it doesnt belong and now some idiots are about to find out why they call me the reaper. I hear former hitmen make the best bodyguards. True story! Ill keep my word and keep Lucia safe. And I absolutely refuse to give in to her sunny smile or sharp wit. I can be strong. Or will I risk just one taste? A standalone romantic suspense with a morally gray anti-hero willing to do anything for the woman he has pledged his life to protect. Previously called the Shameless series, Broken Trust is a completely revised and expanded edition with no cliffhanger and three epilogues. CW available on the author's website.
