Blood and Mercy
I’m caring for the man my brother paralyzed.
Kai Petrova doesn’t know that. He doesn’t know my real last name. Doesn’t know I walked into his mansion with a lie on my lips. Doesn’t know that five years ago, my brother drove drunk and killed his fourteen-year-old sister.
He just knows I’m the only caregiver who didn’t quit.
I needed the money. My mother is dying, and this job pays $135,000 for six months of work. I told myself I could do it.
All I had to do was keep my head down, stay professional, get the money and get out.
But then he started to trust me, he started to look at me. And I made the worst mistake of my life: I fell in love with him.
Now I’m trapped. Because every time he touches me, I think about the reason he’s on a wheelchair. Every time he smiles, I see his dead sister’s face on the walls of his studio.
When the truth comes out—and it will—he’s going to hate me.
But the worst part? The accident that destroyed both our families wasn’t an accident at all.
Someone wanted Kai dead. Someone made sure my brother took the fall. And someone is still out there, watching us get closer, waiting for the perfect moment to destroy us both.
I thought the secret I was keeping would kill me.
I was wrong. It’s going to kill him.
