Leo was only ten years old when his world was destroyed. His birthday was supposed to be a day of celebration. Instead, he received a gift that would scar him for life.
That day, Leo made himself a promise. One day, the man responsible would pay for what he'd done. And when his daughter was old enough, she would suffer the same fate as his sister.
Years later, the time has finally come.
Lindsay has spent her entire life moving from place to place with her mother. Always running. Always hiding from the dangerous man her father is. At least, that's what she's been led to believe.
Then he appears. There's something about him she can't explain. A pull so strong that she willingly leaves with a masked man she doesn't even know.
Leo expected Lindsay to fear him. What he never expected was her complete submission. Her unwavering trust. Or the way she makes him feel things he never wanted to feel. But accepting those feelings would mean questioning everything he's spent years planning.
And Leo can't do that. Not when he made a promise to his sister. Not when he believes he owes her the revenge he's spent his life preparing for.
The more he punishes Lindsay, the more he craves her. But revenge has consumed Leo for too long. And by the time he realizes that loving Lindsay doesn't mean betraying his sister, he may have already gone too far.
Lindsay was supposed to pay for her father's sins.
But will Leo destroy the innocent woman who trusts him with everything, just to keep a promise to the sister he couldn't save?
