Nikolai (Kansas City Reapers)

Maddy blew into our safe house like a storm.

She witnessed a brutal crime, and now those responsible want her dead.

Now it is my job to protect her.

But can I keep her safe while maintaining my sanity?

She is fierce, bratty, and irresistible.

The sparks between us are impossible to ignore.

She calls to a side of me I keep hidden from almost everyone.

Through it all, danger lurks around every corner.

Trust is scarce, and disaster is only a heartbeat away.

The more we learn, the more questions we face.

The job was simple: keep the girl safe.

But what am I supposed to do when protecting her means I can’t protect my heart?
