He's her protector by oath. She's his temptation by fate. DelilahI wasn't supposed to be here-caught in a world of hidden factions, classified missions, and certainly not without my father's blessing or protection. But secrets don't stay buried forever. When I stepped into the same military faction that had nearly broken him, I knew I wouldn't walk out the same. I was taken-shattered in ways I never thought possible. It wasn't my family who fought to put me back together; it was my father's oldest friend-my commander-the only one who saw me as more than just a broken person. Even when I wasn't sure I was. Captain JonathanI never wanted to meet her. Not because she was off-limits, but because the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I could never unsee her. Delilah was the one boundary I swore I would never cross-too young and too tangled in a past to which I owe everything. However, when she was pulled into the shadows we fight against, taken by the same darkness, everything changed. I was supposed to protect her. Now, all I can think about is pulling her close and erasing every scar, no matter what it costs me.
