He's her protector by oath. She's his temptation by fate.
Delilah
I wasn't supposed to be here-caught in a world of hidden factions, classified missions, and certainly not without my father's blessing or protection.
But secrets don't stay buried forever.
When I stepped into the same military faction that had nearly broken him, I knew I wouldn't walk out the same. I was taken-shattered in ways I never thought possible.
It wasn't my family who fought to put me back together; it was my father's oldest friend-my commander-the only one who saw me as more than just a broken person.
Even when I wasn't sure I was.
Captain Jonathan
I never wanted to meet her.
Not because she was off-limits, but because the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I could never unsee her. Delilah was the one boundary I swore I would never cross-too young and too tangled in a past to which I owe everything.
However, when she was pulled into the shadows we fight against, taken by the same darkness, everything changed.
I was supposed to protect her.
Now, all I can think about is pulling her close and erasing every scar, no matter what it costs me.
