Hailey Carter is the golden girl of Willow Creek, a picturesque small town where everybody knows everybody. She's the kind of person who bakes cookies for the church fundraiser, rescues stray cats, and always offers a warm smile even to the grumpiest old neighbor. But beneath her sunny exterior, she's been feeling stifled-like she's living in a bubble that's too perfect, too fragile. Enter Xavier Black-tall, broad-shouldered, and covered in tattoos that hint at a past he doesn't talk about. He's new in town, renting a rundown cabin on the edge of the woods. Rumors swirl about him: he used to fight underground, he's running from something, he's dangerous. Most townsfolk steer clear. But not Hailey. Their paths cross when Xavier helps her out of a tight spot-rescuing her when a drunk stranger corners her late one night outside her bakery. After that, Xavier keeps telling himself to stay away from her. She's too sweet, too pure for someone like him. He's got scars on his knuckles, shadows in his eyes, and secrets that could ruin them both. But somehow, Hailey keeps finding ways into his life. As trouble from Xavier's past comes knocking-along with a local ex-boyfriend of Hailey's who doesn't take no for an answer-Xavier becomes fiercely protective of her. But falling for her feels dangerous... because the darker parts of his life might drag her down with him.

After protecting her from the immediate threat, an unexplainable pull forces his deep protectiveness to the surface. Though he is big, rough, and entirely unused to gentleness, he finds himself lowering his guard to heal her wounded wings and offer her shelter. For the first time in her life, Dawn feels entirely safe, quickly growing attached to her giant protector. But staying hidden in a world this dangerous is no easy task. When he discovers the agonizing truth of what she endured before finding him, his protective instincts turn into an unforgiving fury.

"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing.

"Just let me take care of you," Alexander says as his hand moves across my thigh, his legs holding me in place on the couch. "I can't, it's too much-" I go to move his hand, but another set of hands stop mine. The rings and veins make it obvious who it is. "Enzo, please," I whine quietly. "Be a good girl and sit still.
