I slept with a stranger... and three months later, they sent him to collect me.
I only meant to have one drink with the dangerously unreadable man at the hotel bar. Then I followed him upstairs, spent one unforgettable night in his bed, and walked away before sunrise without ever learning his name.
Three months later I'm working off a contract I can't break, in a clinic that doesn't exist on any map - and he's the man bleeding out on my table.
Vincent Adams. Single father. And his seven-year-old daughter steals my heart almost as fast as he does.
He protects me when the men come hunting. He lets me see the broken man beneath the scars. And somewhere between midnight bandages, stolen moments, and fairy tales at his daughter's bedside, I fall for the man I was never supposed to touch.
Then I learn I wasn't hired. I was collected.
The people who own my contract know what I did seven years ago - and the men at the door aren't Vincent's enemies.
They're mine.
He has his orders. Bring her in alive.
