Rebuilding trust after years apart won't be easy, especially when not everything in the Castellani house is what it seems. As the twins begin to learn the difference between survival and safety, they discover that some shadows are harder to outrun than others.

Eight-year-old Annelise doesn't remember her real name - or what it means to be safe. Taken from her family and trapped in a nightmare for six long years, she's finally rescued and returned to the people who have been waiting for her all along. The Beaumont brothers each carry their own scars from a past filled with loss and secrets. Together, they embark on a slow, tender journey of healing, trust, and rediscovery-where every unlocked door holds the chance for Annelise to reclaim what's been stolen from her.

I keep my distance from Harlan because I know if I let my obsession get out of hand, I'll never let him properly breathe. But then Axel tells us someone is targeting my little sister, one of the only people in this world I have an emotional attachment to. And he's put me and Harlan on the job of hunting them down and eliminating them. I do my best to still keep my distance. I can't give in to the burning need to own him. Until that one phone call... Until I find out he got into an accident, and three men tried to take him out. I'm done keeping my distance. He's mine, and anyone else who comes after him has me to contend with.

Ever since the day I sent Max home from work because I thought he was slacking, only to find out he was suffering from a migraine, I've been unable to stay away from him. He's sweet, a little shy, and he's so eager to please. When we're in a meeting together and he fails to tell me he's suffering from yet another migraine and almost passes out from the pain, our whirlwind romance begins. I want to take care of him as badly as I need to take my next breath. But Max is hiding a lot of secrets--dangerous secrets. He's in desperate need of protection. And my obsession with him makes me the perfect man for the job.

Novella has been mine from the moment I laid my eyes on her. I always kept watch, biding my time, waiting for the right moment to claim her. Finding her unconscious, covered in blood on the bathroom floor of her home is where I draw the line though. Watching is over. It's time to claim her. And while I claim her, I'll hunt down the man who touched her and make him pay. He'll be the first example of what happens to anyone who touches my woman.
