The Devil Always Protects His Angel.... Even from hell.
✘
Kai Meadows is a man whose heart doesn't beat, not for anyone. He's the kind of man who owns half the city, whose cold, stoic demeanor ensures that every woman who crosses his path ends up in the palm of his hand. They throw themselves at him, eager to be the one who cracks that impassive exterior. But not her. No, she's different.
She's the one who wasn't supposed to matter, the one he never planned on. And yet, despite everything, he chose her.
He tells himself it's to keep her safe. But deep down, he knows the truth-he's lying to himself. If it was just about her safety, why the hell do they eat together every night? Why does he let her share his bed, sleep in his arms, despite every rule he's set for himself? And the worst part? Why does he keep breaking his own damn rules for her?
Kaylani never asked for any of this. A perfect law student, poised and ready to conquer the world of criminal defense, she had one simple goal that night: to enjoy a drink, unwind for once, and forget about the pressures of her future. But fate had other plans.
She lost her best friend, found herself thrown into a dangerous world she never imagined, and now she's living with a man she barely knows.
She doesn't believe in love-especially not after everything she's been through. She knows the risks of letting someone in, the dangers of opening her heart, and most of all, the kind of person she's become because of it. So, why does she keep finding herself running into his arms, even when every fiber of her being tells her to keep away
