USA Today best-selling author Kennedy Layne delivers a riveting story about love evolving from the darkness....
The darkness within...
Gavin Crest has always pushed himself to the limit. After 23 years as a marine master sergeant, he built his security agency from the ground up. He also has a predilection for the darker side of sex. He's done it all - except the one woman he can't have, an innocent who deserves more than a man whose soul is tainted with darkness.
Becomes his only ray of sunshine...
Jessie Miller has worked for Gavin Crest for years - and loved him nearly that long. She offered herself to him, body and soul. When he refused, she walked away, head held high and vowing to cut him from her heart. So why is Gavin on her doorstep, insisting that she trust him with her life?
And leads him into the light...
After a cold-blooded killer who's threatened his team members proves the FBI has enough evidence to put Jessie in jail for the rest of her life, Crest has no choice but to save her. Once he's with her, he can't keep his hands off her. As passion rises and a killer closes in, he'll have to prove her innocence, protect her, and risk his heart forever...before it's too late.
