"How else am I supposed to keep you to myself, Tesoro? If any of them so much as looked at you the wrong way, I'd have to handle it, and that would get... complicated." ~~~ Jada Morales had her life planned: follow rules, stay quiet, and never disappoint her family. That plan crumbled when she found her boyfriend of six years in bed with her sister. Shattered and desperate to numb the betrayal, she stumbles into the wrong club and into the arms of Ryder Marconi. Their night together was supposed to be a fleeting escape, a reckless decision quickly forgotten. But fate has other plans, binding them irrevocably when Jada finds herself pregnant. Ryder is determined to do right by her, offering protection and stability, but love was never part of his dangerous world. Jada wants more than passion and security-she wants the kind of love that won't fracture beneath the weight of secrets. She needs a man who will stay, who won't leave her battling alone. But Ryder knows his world can only harm her, and the closer she gets, the greater the danger becomes. Caught between desire and duty, Ryder must choose: let Jada go to keep her safe or fight for a future they may never survive. Can Jada convince him to risk everything for love, or will Ryder push her away forever, believing it's the only way to protect her?
