I spent three years building a fortress around my darkest sins.
It took her three minutes to bring it all down.
To the rest of the world, I'm River Gentry: a cold, untouchable music producer with a spotty past, dark ink up my forearms, and a reputation for crushing anything that gets in my way. I carry the weight of a tragedy that destroyed two families, and I've accepted my role in the shadows. I don't do relationships, I don't do quiet, and I damn sure don't touch what isn't mine.
Then Delilah Henry walks back into my life.
Sun-kissed, fierce, and utterly forbidden, she is the ultimate glitch in my system-and the little sister of the ghost that haunts my every breathing moment.
She thinks she can play with fire. She thinks she can tease the beast inside me, push my boundaries, and escape unburned. But she doesn't realize how razor-thin my restraint actually is. The way she looks at me isn't innocent. The way she touches me makes me want to tear down every wall I've built, claim every inch of her, and drag her right down into the wreckage with me.
I know I'm the villain in her story. I know her family would burn me alive if they saw us. But once my hands are on her skin, there's no turning back.
I warned her to run. Now, I'm going to make sure she never leaves.
