This is the second book in the Hitman series, it can be read as a standalone but you'll understand characters a bit better if you read 'Falling for a Hitman' first. Get hooked on the fast paced, heart racing action, and fall for the romance. The second I heard her say my name I knew I was in too deep. I knew I'd do everything in my power to protect her. When her ex came to town I made sure to do just that. When she finished her shower that first night in my home, I fell for her. Never in a million years did I think love at first sight existed but dammit was I wrong. I have nightmares, I ran far to get away from my ex. I never thought he would find me after I changed my name and moved 1500 miles away from my hometown. When he whispered in my ear I thought I was going to die right there in the middle of the dance floor. Luckily I had big strong tattooed arms to fall into, and I never wanted to leave that embrace. We knew nothing about the other. The deceit, the lies we've told, the demons we have both left behind. Not to mention the doubt and everything that could ruin whatever future we could possibly have. She's worth it. He's worth it.

Griffin "Gruff" Wilkins was a man of few words, a trait he learned at a young age. He was the oldest in his family and learned real quick that if he opened his mouth, it was often shut with a fist or a belt. Therefore, he became a quiet protector rather than the loud-mouth like some of his brothers. After a failed marriage, he decided to focus just on his shop and himself, even if that meant still dipping into his ex-wife from time to time when he needed to get his rocks off. He wasn't looking for anything else until he found himself face to face with a woman who needed his help, the silent protector was back in full force. The only problem was that this woman came with enough baggage to open an airport, including two children, one of whom reminded him a lot of his younger self. Camila Perez thought that she had found her chance at the high life when she met a man at sixteen who swore he'd take care of her. For many years, her life was almost magical, but when the charm wore off, she was left dealing with the devil himself. She dealt with the abuse of her husband for years, but once he began to take his anger out on her two children, she knew it was time to go. A flat tire and a friendly face would bring her into the home of a man who she should have been fearful of. His icy blue eyes were exactly the opposite of the black ones she had come to fear. Camila never thought she could feel safe and secure again, but Gruff Wilkins is about to show her what a real man could give her.
