He helped her hide a body. Now she’s in his debt.
Kira:
I’ve spent my whole life raising my younger sister, keeping her fed and housed and alive.
But now she’s done the unthinkable, and what I have to do goes beyond keeping a roof over our heads.
But I’m determined to protect her, and I’ll carry her crimes as my own if it means keeping her out of prison.
That’s why, when I find myself in the woods with a body to hide, I’m prepared to do whatever it takes, just like I always have.
But what I don’t expect is for my heart to give out and for the drop dead gorgeous Jax Landon to show up.
He was the rich kid in high school, popular and golden and headed to be a lawyer in his father’s footsteps.
But now he carries a gun and is covered in tattoos. He claims to know how to cover up a murder, and as much as I don’t want his help, I’m stuck with him.
Because my sister is dating his younger brother.
Now Jax is calling me his pretty little accomplice, burning anything and everything that could incriminate me, and carrying me down mountains.
He’s dangerous, infuriating, and annoyingly irresistible.
And I don’t know if my heart can handle him.
Jax:
My father built an empire in the legal world and then locked me out, instead raising me to be one of his weapons.
On paper, I’m a lawyer. In practice, a cleaner.
I make witnesses go away so they can’t testify against his cases, cover up murders for his shady clients.
It’s gruesome work, and I would love nothing more than to be in a courtroom instead.
So when I return home to make sure my father doesn’t condemn my younger brother to the same fate, I’m pissed to find that my brother has already entangled himself in a murder.
All to help a girl and her older sister.
I should put a bullet in both of them. That’s what my father would want. No loose ends falling back on the family name..
But Kira Noland is a thorn in my ass. She’s too beautiful to kill, has too much tenacity to snuff out.
The fight in her is admirable. Even as her heart falls apart, she just won’t quit.
I have to have her even if she doesn’t want me, have to help her even if she doesn’t want it.
But if our father finds out, she’s dead, and if the detective snooping around finds one shred of evidence, she’s incarcerated.
Neither is acceptable, and if I have to, I’ll burn down everything to protect her.
