Ravaged Hearts

She became his salvation. He’ll unleash hell to keep her.

Vaughn

Protecting Hope was supposed to be temporary.

A mission. A cartel princess I needed alive long enough to destroy her father.

Now she’s sleeping in my bed, crawling beneath my ruined skin, and becoming my reason to fight.

Somehow, Hope sees past the scars, the tattoos, and the darkness everyone else fears. She touches me like I’m worth saving instead of something broken beyond repair. And that terrifies me more than any nightmare ever could. Because loving Hope means giving her the power to destroy me.

Her father’s cartel is closing in. Bodies are piling up, and the war we’ve been trying to avoid is finally here.

A better man would walk away before she gets caught in the crossfire.

But Hope is mine now, and I’ll be the monster she needs to protect her.
