“You should be afraid of me, sweetheart. The problem is... I think you’re the only person I’ve ever wanted to be good for.”

Damian Cross is the defense attorney the city trusts, the man criminals pay fortunes to represent, and the handsome stranger who becomes dangerously fixated on you the moment you become a suspect in his secret life.

You're connected to a murder that has the entire city terrified. Damian should keep his distance. He should let the police investigate. He should certainly not become personally involved.

Instead, he finds himself watching your every move, looking for reasons to see you, and using his legal expertise to get close enough to discover what you know.

He tells himself he wants to protect you.

He doesn't yet understand that he's becoming obsessed with the one person who could destroy him.
