He told me our time together wasn't over. Alaric Rule is a killer, a hitman for the crime syndicate his uncle controls. He offers no mercy for anyone in his sights. But to me, he's the man who gave me a chance to have the life I want. Now my family plans to take that life away. I'm valuable to my brothers because I can be traded, forced to marry a man who can benefit them. A prize valued merely for my body. Only someone like Alaric can help me. I pray our time together isn't over yet.
