He was the brother who valued family above all else. He’d sacrificed for his sister and her children and fought against a monster who’d tried to take them away. Years ticked past, and still, he hadn’t found his one. But there was someone he’d been interested in her for ages, but pinning her down was hard. She was shy and protected, and he had no idea how to break her walls. Until one night, she needed him, and he stepped up.

She knew the dark side of people all too well. She saw it in her job and in her private life. Two years ago, she’d struck out on her own, but she’d also shut down until the men who cared about her brought her out of her funk. Now, she was stronger, even going so far as to rescue someone. She’d never allow anyone to put her down again. She finally knew her own worth.

Two wounded souls come together and seek what was previously denied to them. He’ll go to hell and back to claim her and protect her. She’ll fight for them and prove she loves him. But when there is a darkness in the shadows, one they can’t foresee coming, who will win? Them or the nightmare lurking?
