With Every Breath

Eliza Cummings fought free of a monster who terrorized her when she was an innocent teenager and helped put him away for good. She took a job with Devereaux Security Services and devoted every hour to taking down the very thing she’d nearly become. No one, not even those closest to her, knows her darkest, shameful secrets. But now the killer has been set free on a legal loophole and it’s only a matter of time before he comes for her. Eliza’s only choice is to run and lead the monster away from the people she loves.

Wade Sterling has always lived by his own rules, a law unto himself who answers to no one. He’s never professed to be a good man, and he’s definitely not hero material. Wade never allows anyone close enough to see the man behind the impenetrable mask—but one woman threatens his carefully leashed control. He took a bullet for her, and the result was more than a piece of metal entrenched in his skin: she was under his skin, and nothing he did could rid him of the woman with the courage of a warrior, who thinks nothing of putting her life before others.

But when Wade sees a panicked and haunted Eliza, he knows something is very wrong, because the woman had never been afraid of anything. When she tries to run, the primal beast, barely lurking beneath his deceptively polished façade, erupts in a rage. She may not know it, but she belongs to him. This time, Eliza isn’t going to be the protector. She is damn well going to be the protected. And as long as Wade breathes, no one will ever hurt what is his.
