She wasn't supposed to need saving. Mara has spent three months convincing herself she is fine. The locks are changed. The number is blocked. The bruises fade. She is managing — or so she tells herself on the nights she checks the deadbolt four times and still cannot sleep. Then Daniel finds her anyway. On a rain-soaked street at eleven o'clock at night with nowhere left to run, a black SUV pulls up and a man she has never met steps out and puts himself between her and everything she has been running from. He doesn't ask questions. He doesn't make promises. He simply stands there — steady and immovable and frighteningly calm — and says two words that change everything. Get in. Damien Cole doesn't do personal. He does protection. Fifteen years of military service and private contract work have taught him exactly how to keep people safe and exactly how to keep himself from caring about any of them. He has rules for that. He has systems. He has a clean, sparse safe house on the east side of the city and a professional distance he has never once let anyone cross. Then he pulls up on Birch Street in the rain and hears a man say a woman's name fourteen times. He counted. Now Mara is living in his space, drawing her quiet drawings, asking her careful questions, and dismantling every wall he built without even trying. And Damien is doing the one thing he has spent fifteen years making sure he never does. He is starting to care. But Daniel isn't finished. And caring about someone, Damien knows better than most, is just another word for having something to lose.

Blurb: Eight years ago, Sloane Hargrove was marked, loved, and then thrown away by Torin Vale, the Alpha who chose hockey glory over the bond that could have destroyed his family. She rebuilt herself from nothing. Now she is the photographer every network wants, and fate drags her right back into his world when she lands the exclusive documentary deal covering his championship run. The pull between them never died. It only slept. Then there is Emrys Kade, Torin's fiercest rival on the ice, the stranger she gave herself to in one reckless night before she knew his name or his rank. He is an Alpha too, magnetic and dangerous, and he wants her even after learning exactly who she used to belong to. Torin is engaged now, to a model as beautiful as she is ruthless, a woman who catches him kissing Sloane and turns that photo into a weapon. As old enemies circle back to finish what they started eight years ago, Sloane must fight to keep her career, her heart, and her secret safe from a world that would burn her alive for loving an Alpha twice. This time, she will not be the one who gets rejected.
