Her Dark Protector
She was everything he never knew he wanted.
Looks can be deceiving, a sentiment accountant/enforcer Ernest Marchetti knows all too well.
When his paths cross with professional ballerina Wynter Martin, his soul knows it's met his match.
Beautiful, bold, smart, quick-witted - she's a temptation he should resist.
So he stayed in the shadows,
Watching. Waiting
He never expected to stumble into her while on a job,
Nor did he expect her to come home with him.
He would do anything to keep her safe, including confronting his dark past.
Their chemistry is undeniable, and so are the secrets they both carry.
In an act of desperation, he makes her a solemn promise:
Till Death Do Us Part.
If only she knew he meant that literally.
