The night was heavy with rain, the kind that blurred city lights into streaks of fire and shadow. Somewhere in the sprawl of New York, a man sat in the back of a black SUV, his chest rising and falling slowly as if the world outside didn’t matter.Marcus had lived in blood and secrets for fifteen years. He was the kind of man mothers prayed their sons never became and fathers quietly respected. In another life, he might have been a soldier, a protector. But here, in America, he was something else—an enforcer for men who wore suits by day and spilled blood by night.He thought he had it under control. Until the night a young woman saved his life.Maya Sharp, beautiful, fearless—everything Marcus didn’t know he needed. She stepped into his world like a spark in a powder keg, and suddenly, the life he’d been living didn’t feel enough. For the first time, Marcus wanted more than survival. He wanted love.But wanting love in his world came with consequences. Because the organization never let go. And the woman who swore she’d fight for him would soon discover just how much blood loyalty costs in America.
