“Are you okay?” she’d whispered, edging closer. His expression was wild. He couldn’t talk. He couldn’t form words. Her heart hurt as she watched him try.
She sat on the narrow bed beside him and reached out a hand.
“I promise not to hurt you,” she said, leaving her hand there on the bed between them, an invitation for if and when he was ready.
He shied away. He looked like he might try and run.
But he surprised her. He took her hand.
She smiled, squeezing ever-so-gently.
“It’s going to be okay,” she whispered.
She loved him, even then. Her beautiful broken boy.
He didn’t smile. He didn’t blink.
But he squeezed her hand back.
And she knew, somehow, that they belonged to each other.

Kingpin (Cartel, #2)
They say love conquers all.
It's a lie.
For eight years I had been the property of the Gypsy Brothers Motorcycle Club. I laundered their money so well they'd never let me leave. My only glimmer of light was the man I loved. The man who had saved me.
Dornan.
His love had been the only thing that kept the demons at bay. But he'd become so immersed in the cartel's brutal business that I hardly knew him anymore.
Dornan had been my salvation, but he was also my undoing.
Would he pull me down into the darkness until he destroyed me? Could I save him?
Did I even want to?
