Scythe carries decades of violence in his bones. The Order created him as a Hunter in Dragos's labs, turning him into a killing machine. Now his brothers call on him for protection duty. His assignment: guard Chiara Genova, a widow with a young Breed son. Scythe has watched her from distance, wanting what he cannot have. He learned long ago that love brings only pain and weakness. He refuses to open that door again. Chiara never wanted to depend on someone like Scythe. The obsidian-eyed warrior represents everything dangerous about the Breed world. But enemies have marked her and her child as targets. Scythe becomes her only shield against death. Working together forces them into close quarters. His controlled exterior begins to crack. Her careful walls start to crumble. Both must choose between safety and the connection growing between them.
