He wasn't supposed to let her in.
She wasn't supposed to fall for him.
Neither of them was supposed to get caught up.

Justice Banks had already buried the love of his life. He had no plans to do it twice.

Then Skye Mercer walked into his home to care for his grandmother and made herself hard to ignore. Before long, the woman who was supposed to be temporary started feeling like she belonged.

Skye knew better.

Justice was getting too close, and close was dangerous. Skye Mercer isn't her real name, and the life she left behind wasn't one she could afford to have anyone digging into. She came to the Banks family for a job and enough cash to disappear for good.

She didn't expect Justice. She definitely didn't expect to love him.

But Skye isn't the only one keeping secrets. And Justice's biggest threat might not be the woman sleeping beside him.

Because while he's busy watching the danger outside his gates, he may be missing what's already inside them.
