A creature of darkness saved me…and he isn’t letting me go.
I was offered my first solo project. It was a chance too good to be true. That should have been my first clue. Go to an island on the Gulf Coast, dismantle and catalogue a beautiful cathedral, and catch some sunshine on the sandy shore as a bonus. What could go wrong?
It started with an attack from a monstrous beast the first night on the beach. When a dangerous man leapt from the night to defend me, I was tempted to think fondly of my unexpected champion. But I quickly realized the mysterious, brooding figure wants to stop my work. He was one of the obstacles to completing this project!
Not only was he hiding things from me, I was convinced he wants to make my life a living hell.
My terrible savior was just as brutal as the creature he fought off, damaged in ways I’ll never understand. And yet, the more time we were forced to spend together, the more I caught glimpses of kindness beneath his brutal exterior.
His touch sparked an unexpected passion, tempting me to throw caution to the wind…
Until I discovered the real reason he’s helping me.
Will we be able to work together peacefully, or has my time on Jekyll Island been doomed before it even began?
