His grip on her wrist was iron, his voice a low, dangerous growl that resonated straight through her bones. Cody Valtier had finally found her, the woman who’d walked out on him without a word four years ago.
She swallowed back tears. Every moment was real. Every night, every kiss, every I love you — they were all true. But she couldn’t say it.

She met his gaze, silent. And in that silence, his instincts took over and claimed what was his, what had never stopped being his: her mouth, her body, her soul. The bond between them roared to life, undeniable and unbroken. But Cody didn’t know that four years ago, she hadn’t walked away alone.
He thought he’d captured a traitor. He’d actually found his shield.
