Audrey Watson had always known she was unwanted. At twenty-three, Audrey has nothing to her name but a haunted past, scars she refuses to explain, and a dangerous secret that could get her killed. Then she meets Xavier Kingston, a billionaire CEO. The kind of man she should run from. Instead, he becomes the first person to stand between her and the man who has spent years making her life a living hell. But Xavier has no intention of becoming her hero. He has a family to please, a company to protect, and a marriage waiting for him. Audrey was supposed to be nothing more than a stranger he rescued in Texas. So why can’t he let her go? Why does her rejection hurt more than it should? And why does every secret he uncovers about the woman make him want her even more? Audrey thought Xavier was the one person who could save her, but she was wrong. Because some people don’t save you. They become obsessed with owning every broken piece of you. And when the past Audrey has spent her entire life running from finally catches up with her, she may discover that being wanted can be far more dangerous than being unwanted.
