What do you do when your past collides with your present?
Bourne
One encounter was all it took for me to become enthralled by her. It was her deep, dark chocolate eyes beckoning me to come closer. She was a forbidden fruit I knew I could never taste. I believed I would never see her again until she crossed my path ten years later. Our moment was brief but everlasting in other ways. Something I remembered from long ago now drove a need in me to take care of her. She needed protection from her family, and I needed to be the one to protect her.

Secrets.
Lies.
Violence.
Betrayal.
It’s all I know. I want nothing more than to run far away from the home that has become my prison. However, I’m the daughter of a cruel, powerful man who hates me and would prefer me gone, and then my dream came true—he let me go. It was a chance at freedom, or so I believed, but I knew I could never truly escape the iron shackles of my family. The pretense of living freely meant everything to me until my brother, now Don of the family, ordered me home.
I promised myself I would run at the first chance I could get away, but they found me again. All hope of living freely was lost until the man I believed to be my captor showed me who he really was and became my savior. He makes me want things I never thought were attainable.
