When A Man Loves

WHEN A MAN LOVES

He was supposed to be dead in the first five minutes.

Knox saw something he was never meant to see, and now the most feared man in the city has one job: make sure he never talks again.

Dominic doesn't hesitate. He doesn't feel guilty. He follows orders, buries his emotions, and rules his world through fear alone.

Killing Knox should have been simple.

He couldn't do it.

Instead, Dominic drags him somewhere no one will ever find him - a cage disguised as safety. Knox doesn't go quietly. He mouths off, breaks every rule, pushes every boundary Dominic has spent years perfecting, and somehow, infuriatingly, gets under his skin doing it.

A job was never supposed to feel like this.

Dominic tells himself its control. Then it's possession. Then it's something far more dangerous than either - something that makes him jealous, protective, obsessed with a man he was ordered to erase.

Knox starts to realize the man holding him prisoner may be the only one standing between him and a bullet.

But Dominic's world runs on blood, secrets, and enemies who don't forgive weakness.

Keeping Knox alive means risking everything Dominic has built.

And once the wrong people realize Knox isn't just a loose end anymore - he's something Dominic can't afford to lose - they'll stop at nothing to make sure he never becomes one.

Dominic was supposed to kill him.

He never planned on wanting to keep him instead.
